- Thought it was my turbo timer, disconnected it all and car is till running
- Thought it might be the wires under the fuel filter, they look fine and are connected, should i try and spike these somehow?
- Tried to rev and try the brakes as found elsewhere on the forum, still running
- Can i crimp a fuel line to turn the car off?

Drop the clutch in high gear with foot on brake to stall the motor....
that will stop it but wont fix the problem.

Thanks mate, amazing how much a thing like this can make you overlook the simplest of solutions. now to approach this with a clear head and about an hour of no power to the car.
I did notice that once i had stalled the car that the car was remaining in the ignition on position, so i'm thinking maybe a faulty ignition switch?

Sounds like a shut down timer problem. Do you still have it disconnected?
Could be a faulty ignition relay. Try swapping the ignition relay (it's above the fuse box inside the vehicle, bottom left one) with another relay of the same colour.

Thanks Yendor, I will try that now, pulled the ignition switch off and it seems to be functioning well. Nice distinct and crisp clicks in all positions.

My hero. It fills me with a warm fuzzy feeling when I think about how much help I have received from the members on this site. I am a long way from your typical civilization that I, and I bet most of us, grew up with. It is a 600km drive to my nearest Supercheap or mechanic (except emergency council workshops) or fast food chain. It can be a very stressful situation having an auto problem out here.
We did our research and got the most robust wheels we could afford before coming out here and I have been doing oil and oil and air filters with a tyre rotation every 5,000km with a fuel filter every 10,000km. As hard as I try, intermittent problems still come up and without you guys and girls I just don't know where we'd be.
A big thanks to you all and I hope that one day I can help some of you in return.
