I agree with Chris. I've also seen the fans turn into generators and run the engine. I even "think" I remember this being covered in one of the TSBs.
ok... so just flipped through the TSB book...and don't see one for the fan run on... Man, I thought there was one in there...
Thanks guys
The diode fitted inline between the alternator and generator lamp (B/BK) did the trick.
Engine now switches off on the key as normal.

Excellent..! Great to hear.
Great news Horace!
Hi all,
just want to say many thanks to all who posted here, it has solved my problem. I have just done the reccomended swap to Duraspark distributor and module plus a new relay to supply power from the starter solenoid and triggered by the light blue wire from the ignition switch. Car starts right up nicely, but wont switch off with the key and keeps on running happily after disconnecting the batter - very disconcerting! But after reading this thread and adding the diode in the wire from the generator warning light to the voltage regulator the problem is now solved. Many thanks!
Cheers, Tim.
