Can anyone point me in the direction of a cure, or where to look? I tried a search but there's too many listings Perhaps someone has already had this and has a previous post listed?

Central Locking is fine, Headlamp leveling is fine, which to me would illustrate sufficient vacuum?

If I take off the Brown vacuum hose form the servo pipe and suck I can watch the stop lever go down and the engine stop? Which would suggest that the Key mechanism is working correctly? C'est Vrai? Non?

Go back to the standard set up and turn off the key It no stop so can any of ya suggest a suitable place to look OR point me to posts of relevence?

No Worries I found it!

The elbow at the brown hose on the brake servo pipe was dozed so I changed it a while back for a rubber pipe

It was a different rubber when it got hot it swelled up and killed the vacuum

Now cured I thought it may help some others?
