vauxhalls are not fitted with a fuel cut off switch .. you need to check the wiring from battery to starter motor ..

Thank you very much for your reply for answering inertia switch question. Have tried what you said fault lies in fuse box, moisture getting in caused corrosion on terminals. Need to go to vauxhall "stealers " to replace .
