Thanks mate found it a few days ago and did it today. Took a bit of time (and some swearing) but got it out and replaced. Did not remove the steering wheel and only used a chisel and a hammer to remove the shear bolts. A mech on Vortex said to whack them hard with a ball peen hammer first and then to use a sharp chisel and heavy hammer and he was right

Here is the lock after I pulled it out.



Its that little tab that caused all the issues

So, if your MK4 ever not have any response turning the ignition key, this is a possible cause

It starts and can now be driven back to Bne tomorrow after living on the sunny coast for a week

great work!
I always thought that if jobs cant be done with a hammer, they must be electrical - looks like i was wrong!
