yea tru tru.....its all good.....

just changed mine then... took a heap of effort to get the boss kit off and i had a heap of trouble getting the old barrel out, i had to tap the clip and wiggle the barrel at the same time cheers for the guide, helped heaps

Good to see people are still using my guide.. its about time i did a new one..

yeah man, helped alot, but the old ignition barrel did NOT want to slide out after i pushed that clip in lol had to keep pushing it with a screwdriver and wiggling and pulling on the ignition barrel to get it out thanks again

Thanks for this guide it helped a lot. Had to change my ignition after some little prick tried to steal my car. They got my head unit which sucks but i've still got my car at least. Took me all of about 20mins and most of that was getting the steering wheel off and cost me about $43, ignition and cheap steering wheel puller. Thanks Cam

I can't get the new ignition barrel to 'click' in, it's struggling, you can only stick it in so far.

keep wiggling the barrel around, move the key a little if you have to... eventually youll find the right position and itll go in easy

Did you have to put much pressure to get it to click back in? I'm just sitting there, turning the key around and pushing the barrel in, hoping for it to just slot in, but no luck..frustrating.

i had much more trouble getting it out, it was fairly easy to get back in for me... i had to press the little tab things in at the start to get it to slide in though , are you doing that?

that is good advise i have 2 to change problem is they were both broken into and they wont go to the on possision any advice cherrs

I got it to click in, but turn it and it doesn't do anything!! It's got something to dear with the little gear the barrel connects to..it came out with the old barrel.. Edit: Got it in. Had to play with the cog, or gear thing that it goes onto. Had trouble getting the gears inline with the little railing..

Hi guys Ive followed this advice and it feels like its getting stuck on something and wont come out Any help? Cheers

same thing happened to me mate.. just keep pressing a screwdriver in the hole you punched through the soft alloy, and wiggle the barrel while its in the on position , and itll come out.

Sweet Thanks for the tips guys. THe only thing is now that i've replaced it there is absolutely 0 electrics. And there seems to be a white electric box moving up and down when the ignition arm slides forward... its goint to be a looong day Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha sorry..

hey matt i was wondering if i can install another ingition on my vl that start's at off then acc then on then power then start? can u suggest any ignitions that would fit a vl and how? cheerz

yer that would be very helpful, coz my vl has jus been to the panel beaters, & obviously thay didnt know that vl ignitions were like that :S and they flattened my brand new battery, so im pretty pissd off lol

I dont think any thing can fit that would do that hay.. you think some one would make an after market one like solex.. But not really hay..

yer somone tried 2 steal my VK using this method they wer 2 stupid 2 realise i car sitting in the street wif flat tyres has nothing of value in it now my key doesnt fit coz they changed the fkin barrel on the fkin thing, i think i will use the 30second method
