Dealer 'diagnostics'

    Girl here at work bought privately a 106 1.4L petrol recently. Couple of
    weeks ago, it wouldn't start at all. Main dealers diagnosed ECU failure and
    recommended a new coil pack too (apparently the coil packs die and take out
    the ECU). Dealers wanted ~£600 for an ECU so she got one from ATP
    Electronics for ~£180. Dealers fitted it and got the car alive but then they
    can't switch off the engine! They've pissed about for a week running up a
    nice fat bill for >£500 on 'diagnostics' and their solution? Oh, we pulled
    this wire out of this connector and it now turns off using the ignition key
    as it should!"
    As the new ECU was a direct identical replacement for the original, why all
    of a sudden would the engine not switch off using the key?
    Is there another 'master relay' (VSI?) somewhere which could have been the
    original
    cause of this problem? Any wiring diagrams on the Net anywhere?
    Thanks for any advice.
