Hi
Is there a starter interlock switch on Australian delivered NB's (2002) ? I've looked at a manual off the net which is probably for USA which shows one connected to the clutch pedal.
cheers

Re: Starter Interlock Switch
don't reckon, that's a yank thing............they must be dopey dicks over there with manual gearboxes, a mate of mine bought a Transam years ago, & it wouldn't start unless the clutch pedal was fully depressed, never been fitted to any AU car I know of.
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often

He's lucky!
Many American cars won't start unless the gearbox is in neutral AND the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
With our cars, you can even engage the starter when in gear and the clutch pedal out!
