quick question about ignition barrel change

That's a new one on Me...

Did your mk2 not come with them fitted?

I need to do this job too. Not looking forward to it.

It's not as hard as it seems...

Take the steering wheel Off remove the bottom cover on the cowl, remover the 3 screws on the stalks, unclip the wires at the rear of the stalks, remove stalks CAREFULLY, press the hazard button to help get that out without busting either the stalk or the Top Cowl/housing... Remove the ignition wiring..

Undo the bottom bolt behind the pedals (2 spanners) and undo the top Allen bolt that holds the barrel housing and now use the rubber mallet to remove the inner column... Job done...

If you have to take out the column housing then the Complete dash needs to come out.... A lot more work but nothing too taxing!!

HTH

That does help, cheers X4mgs  . Will need to track down a decent lock set, I long for the day when my car has only one key for all locks...

What you looking for as I may have a set from a Valver I'm breaking....

Hi gang

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread (proves I do searches haha)

I am currently waiting for a complete new lock set for mine (15 quid brand new, could be dubious qty)
I have removed the inner column ready to drill the barrel. The steering has locked and I have no key.  Will this cause me a problem when changing the ignition lock??? Or shall I start trawling the breakers for a complete column/ignition assy

Hope u all had a trouble free Xmas
