Answer
Sorry for the delay, Charles.  My computer had a major failure - took 10 days to fix it.

Be careful, the brown wire is permanently live, so disconnect the battery before doing anything else.  Your starter switch should have 5 wires going to it.  The one in the middle is the brown one.

Counting in a clockwise direction, the outer 4 wires are (White) (Grey) (White with a Red stripe) and (White with a Green stripe).  If any wire is still connected, you should be able to work out where the others go.  If you don't have the anti-run-on valve, there may be no grey wire on your car.
