I've been looking for a way to turn my engine off... But thanks to your step-by-step instruction I will keep trying.
I think the test by removing the fuses one after the other is a great way to test an engine without documentation, but I'm not an electrician and I don't know what are the risks to proceed to such a test
Personally I would hesitate to do it on a newer diesel with a high pressure pump (ie common rail) as they are certainly much more complicated and sensitive. Now I don't want to make you hesitate to test that on your HDi.

Have fun,

Denis.
