it's a 10 min job to replace. You have to modify a small phillips head screwdriver to allow to to remove the mounting screws. the screwdriver needs a 90 deg bend put in it. You will see what i mean when you look at the bottom of the ignition barrel.
You could try hsy ( South yarra auto parts in Church st Richmond) Imparts on Hoddle st Abbotsford may also be an option ( i think they may only wholesale to the trade) otherwise genuine. Hope this helps.
Sorry to sound stupid but when you say ignition switch, do you mean ignition barrel?
Hopefully the manual i have ordered will show me what your talking about.
And is it a job a woman can do, or will i need to have stregth to replace it?
The ignition swith screws to the bottom of the barrel via 2 small phillips head screws. Fairly straight forward, just a little fiddly, hence the screwdriver with a 90 deg bend. Remove the steering colomn shroud along with fuse panel cover to allow good access.Have a look at the base of your ignition barrel, the switch will possibly be black in color with an electrical plug on the bottom. Once you sight it, it will all become fairly self explanatory.
Thank you, I will order the part today and when the part and manual arrives I will give it a try. Fingers crossed i can fix it.
Thank you for ALL your help!
