My 2.5TD has a strange fault, and was wondering if anyone else has had this before.

After getting in the car I noticed that with no key in the ingition the dash lights were on dim, on inserting the key andf turning the ingition on the dash lights went brigt but had no glow plug light. tryed to start engine and it fired up and all lights went out. Drove car home with no problem but when I turned the ingition off the engine carried on running, I removed the key but this did not stop the engine. it was not over reving and was running as normal but the only way to shut it down was to stall it.

With engine stoped the dash lights were on again, take key out lights still on but radio and heater fan switch off. Car starts fine and drives as should but will not shut down with key,

Has any one ever had this problem? or can sugest where to start looking.

I would start with the ignition switch...but what do I know?

Sounds like the lighting circuit is keeping the injection pump powered.

Try pulling some fuses out to see if you can isolate the fault further.
