Have any of you guys replaced your ignition switch. Mine got a bit fubar'd when I disconnected the plug from the rear of the switch.

Is it only held on by one grub screw? If not how do reach the second one???



I've ordered some tiny cranked screw drivers to access the top screw but the bottom looks border line impossible.

Hi Marcus,
Thanks. I think that thread is about removing the ignition barrel not the switch. I just want to swap the plastic unit housing the contacts.

Am I missing something.

Hmm this seems to be severe grief. I have the old ignition switch off. To refit it looks like the ignition barrel needed to be removed released back slightly. Now can't for the life of me get the ignition key barrel back in its housing.

Anyone done this before. Did it require some sort of magic.

Sorted.. Ignition switch changed and barrel back in... And yes does require some magic.. Will document for others when I've got everything else back in!
