ignition barrel
« on: 17 September 2006, 18:05 »
Hi again folks...
How easy or how hard is it to take out an old barrel and fit a new ignition barrel ?

Thanks for any help.

Remember to put the key in and turn it to pull it out.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

Got the barrel out and there was a small screw that was loose.
I just gave it a good tighten and put it all back together and now the ignition works fine.
