Title: Ignition Switch
Post by: SimonG on 06 April 2014, 14:32

Hi all, it looks as though my ignition switch has finally bitten the dust, I have to wiggle the key while turning it and now I can't get the headlights to turn on!

I'm after people's opinions regarding ignition switches off eBay and other alternative sources other than the main dealer, any thoughts please, a good choice?

I would only fit a known brand as it's not a job to do twice.  My febi are £18 posted
