Right, turns out it was nothing too complicated. The rev counter that I swapped out of a slightly different instrument cluster (but same make-VDO) had burnt out for some reason:

I removed the rev counter from the instrument cluster which caused the STOP light to switch off. I am hoping the reason for the rev counter burning out was a fault with the unit; I had noticed that it was overeading by about 250 rpm as well as the needle not quite resting on the 0 with the engine off.
I had that rev counter for all of 5 days, now back to no rev counter again, not ideal for tuning, but at least I am not waiting for something to burst into flames anymore!
Anyone got a spare VDO instrument cluster that I can have for not a lot of money?
