ignition switch
I'm not using a collumn off a sierra or anything, and want a starter button, so I looked out an on-off switch that you can't take the key
out when on, found one on ebay, cheap, bought it, but its also got a start position
Would iva be a problem if the start isn't connected to anything? Or if the key and button both esstentially do the same job?

I have a full column switch and a start button. I used the start position on the ignition switch for the brake fluid lamp test switch, the examiner
liked it.

I've got a savage start switch in the garage if that's any good?

nice idea on the brake test! i've already got a test button under the warning light though...
barkalarr, is your switch a starter button, or key switch? I've already got both, but could do with a nicer key switch

not sure if I am remembering correctly, but isn't there something in the IVA re having a locking steering wheel? - or possibly in the new MOT
regs?
my current xtreme has the lock broken out as the key was so close to the dash it was really annoying - an alarm which says the ignition switch can be
on or off, which is just a 40amp decent toggle switch and similar next to it for a starter..
I was too before I did the above looking for a decent switch but never thought to look for bike parts.. nice idea.

Think you need two items to secure the car for IVA, so if you have no steering lock you need an electronic immobiliser along with an ignition key.

No need for steering lock. I've got immobiliser and key, so I'm sorted

Think you need two items to secure the car for IVA, so if you have no steering lock you need an electronic immobiliser along with an ignition key.
The two items thing is a myth. The manual says "A vehicle MUST be fitted with EITHER a mechanical
anti – theft device or an electronic immobiliser."
FWIW the requirement for a key is rather hazy -the glossary states that an ignition switch is a "key operated switch", but otherwise a key
is not specifically required in the regs. Since many production cars have no key operated switch I suspect that this is just an anacronism. Worth
checking with your local test centre, I don't have one and nobody said a word about it.

I think the two items stems from the need to have a key, and an additional form of immobilation (ie mech or elec).
But as you say, the 'key' is only mentioned in the glossary, and there have been those who have passed with a button and a immobilser. It
will certainly be something I will be checking with my tester prior to my IVA date.
