The chim wouldn't start this morning, Grrrrrrr
Turns out the ignition switch is dodgy
I've found a part number (Vauxhall 90052497?)
How is it fitted? does it just un-clip or is there a
hidden screw?

There are 2 grub screws in the body of the barrel that locate into lugs on the plastic part of the switch.
It is easy to get to the first screw but the second is difficult.
I managed to replace mine by undoing just one screw it took a bit of fiddling to get the new switch to locate but it did go in.
I found it easier to remove the lock barrel as you don’t have to worry about it lining up until after you have secured the switch unit.
Don’t forget that the lock barrel will only come out in one position (position 2 I think). I am not at home at the moment so I don’t have access to photos.

Thanks. I managed to remove the switch by un-doing one grub screw
and 'wiggling'! The switch is pretty knackered, but I managed to
get it working again by cleaning up the contacts.
I will try and source a new one today

I got mine from Vauxhall via my local garage for 16 quid.

Try the Vauxhall dealers on ebay you may get one cheaper.
