Kill Switch
Litch:
You can pick them up from either of the above mentioned or just about any car accessory shop.
For wiring in, they come with a wiring diagram but this seems to cause some people problems though I can't see why.
On my 90 mine is on the seatbox near the tunnel, easy to reach but doesn't mean you have to extend the battery cables. On my old S111 I had it in the the centre of thge dash but that was fitted with harnesses so it had to be very close. Ollie, you are very near me (Cranfield) so you are welcome to pop up and have a look.

Matt_H:
can you get one that can handle winch currents? I think my winch can draw up to 400 amps or something like that - all the ones I've seen are only rated to 250 amps :-(

Litch:
Yes, they are pretty widely available.
I measured the current my winch was drawing (being an electrician meant I had access to the necessary gear at the time) and while I can't remember the exact figure I am sure it was in excess of 300A. Never had a problem with the switch.
Matt_H:
got any info on where as I'm not having any joy
can only find ones at 250 amps
