quote: Sorry mate, I didn't understand fully. Are you saying there is one screw which will loosen this switch off, and it begins at the silver metal end and then runs into the switch? What do you mean by "wove way"? Thanks. | |

quote: I was at it again today - but this time with a mirror to get a good look around the back of the switch. I couldn't see any grub screw round there :( Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, I dunno. I did manage to get the 'end piece' off the wiring connector though. And I then took some photos of what was left. I thought that if I pushed a screwdriver into the bits arrowed in GREEN that would surely loosen the switch off?? Help! | |

At the back of the switch at the dash side theres a little grub screw, undo that and it will pull out. then youll understand how to get the wires off. But to be honest, the first time you do this you will fuck it up. I replaced mine 3 times trying to get mine off lol! | |

I don't want to split/take apart the switch itself. How do you take it off in one piece without breaking it? :( quote: Interesting idea. Where does the cable tie go? Longways from the wiring connector all the way to the key insert? quote: Where are these screws? I can see a couple of grub screws on the ignition barrel itself. But I'm looking to loosen off the actual switch from the barrel. And I can't see any screws on the switch :| quote: You mean on the dash side of the switch itself? So just loosen that and bingo? How do you then get the wiring connector off the switch? Many thanks guys for all your help. I can feel a solution is close! ;) [Edited on 30-12-2012 by Billy Dean] [Edited on 30-12-2012 by Billy Dean] | |

Couple of screws on there. I know there's away as I did it after braking one the first time I tried it. | |

Be, very careful I took the switch apart once, and I had springs and bits in my footwell. | |
