Yep. Theres two relays down next two the battery, one of them has two purple wires (I think?) going in to it. You have to cut them and bridge them on the relay, and just seal the others up. I *think* thats how it goes, best of doing a search to check. Its been covered a few times.

No need to cut the wires Just get a piece of wire with two spade connectors on the end. On the relay closest to the drivers side headlight, plug it in from one purple wire to the other.

Useful as a security measure if you hook it up to a hidden switch Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey, just had one of my old thoughts, connect it to an MP3 player and play the sound of the engine cranking then dying as if the battery is flat, have to arrange a speaker in engine bay so it at least sounds similar but hey, how many thieves want to mess around and steal a car with a battery thats on its last legs, especially if they think its cranking, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
