Having said this I thought it period appropriate to have a button Start for the 1936 diesel twin on my narrowboat.

Ignition switch is simple on/off.


Ohh, Lister, that's a proper engine and if I'm not mistaken scrumbled paintwork too thumbs

You are quite right, but it does make the starting of the engine more of an event

I agree Jon. In the case of our cars though all the complexity for start button is already there including its connector, like it or not. Ironically if you don't take up and pay for the start button option a jumper has to be added to this connector to enable key start.
