Could someone advise me how to do this? Did lots of googling and mixed answers. Needs to be fuel pump (or something else) and NOT battery kill switch.
Anyone done this and what parts/where did you tap into?
Cheers

Is this for safety or security?

Connect a wire to the green/purple fuel pump wire where it goes down the front left corner of the cabin to the sill. Connect another wire to the earthing stud behind the glovebox. Connect the wires to the pins that connected to the green/blue and black wires on a spare defogger switch, and fit this switch in the top row of switches above the clock and radio.
Turn this switch on when you leave the car. If an attempt is made to start the car with this switch on, fuse 11 will blow.

Which is 7.5A in all but a few rare old E30s with two fuel pumps.
