RobertSmalls - Thanks - I'm beginning to think the kill switch is the approach to use. I wondered about the ECU though as the "remappers" mod it with the engine off.

B-Bob - Thanks too. I try to leave the engine on if I'm at or near the front of the queue and most of the lights are close to home so I know the sequence. I didn't think about the oil draining point though. I think this engine has a non-return filter but I would need to check. I shall keep engine on for now as its winter and I barely get to normal temp even just with engine on coasting.
