Does anyone know what this switch does? I flicked it on and off, but cant see that it does anything???,, Its in the panel underneath the steering wheel on a 3.9 V8 ES.

Right. That is not OE part. Follow the wires and see where and what do they lead to.

Can I get one of these fitted as an aftermarket accessory?? , although I di find another similar switch on my V8i, its on the right of the steering column, and if I don't put a key in it, my MPG is fantastic .

Sure you can. Look under ''engines" section. They're called "Tdi's".

Oh, I forgot in UK people are doing things the other way, including towing: the proper way to tow a caravan
