Hi guys,
Sorry to join up and instantly start asking questions, I've done quite a bit of googling on this but can only find part answers to my question.
I seem to have the usual suspect ignition switch problem - the stereo stays on when you switch the car off, the lights behind the heater controls don't seem to work and the clock/mileage etc on the dash stay on when I take the key out. However a previous owner has bypassed the issue to an extent and fitted a hidden start button. I don't mind the button too much ( you still need the key to start the car).
I've looked through the various guides for fitting the switch and it all seems pretty straightforward however is this then gonna be screwed up by the start button? Also the car has an aftermarket immobiliser fitted that doesn't currently work - I have a random key fob in the ashtray and a button thing on the dash to press it up against (looks like an old Cobra system I had on an old 8v years ago), is this likely to affect things?
Does anyone have any suggestions on if this is worth trying to rectify or if I'm better just to live with it as it is?
Sorry for the huge first post, hi by the way ! :-p
