Because it is Vetus,and because they can

 

There are some wiring diagrams on the Vetus site I believe.

A few years back the buzzer on my 1985 Vetus Panel stopped working. I replaced the piezo sounder with an identical one from Maplin for ~£2.50.

 

Unless the design has changed the PCB is simple relay logic. Press 'start' and a relay latches energising the stop solenoid, press 'stop, and it drops. Preheat or start also energises the pre-heat circuit. A few diodes ensure this all works as intended and, I think, there may be a jumper that allows you to enable or disable engine stop on water or exhaust over-temperature.
