Okay all, here's a good one to work out.

Last night I went to my model aircraft club meeting. headlights were needed 
on the way. When I parked, instead of shutting everything down then turning 
off the engine, I turned the engine off first (I had forgotten about the 
lights). I had removed the key and was about to get out before I realised 
the engine was still running.
I turned the headlights off and the engine stopped. After making sure he 
engine would start again I ignored it until I got home.
Back home I could reproduce the fault repeatedly.
With the engine running and the headlights on, turning off the ignition did 
not stop the engine, it wasn't run-on, it was running properly.
Alternator and oil lights came on, but a bit on the dim side. When I turn 
the headlights off, even to side lights, the engine stops normally.
Now you've all stopped laughing, (I had a bit of a giggle about it), I know 
it's most probably an earth fault somewhere, I've yet to go through the 
wiring diagrams, but if anyone's had anything similar, a starting point 
would be appreciated.
At the moment I'll start with the main engine bonding lead and work out 
from there.

Regards
Dave English
