matty is there anyway i can swop the acc and off wires in the ignition?????

Yer.. You can Thats not hard.. But i dont know the colour of the wires off the top of my head.. if you have a book it will tell you.. Umm.. maybe it wont tell you as it would tell you how to hot wire one.. There is a wiring diagram on this site that i got it all off... I cant seem to find it now but you might have some luck

you dont always have to buy a new barrel. im a locksmith and its easy as to re pinn these barrels. just take it in to any locksmith and they should be able to fix it up and keep it on the same key.make it heaps easier not having different keys for doors and ignition. also you cant put any other model barrels in.they have totally different setups, as for changing around the acc and off...as far as i know this isnt possible...

hey i am having a lot of trouble trying to remove my ignition. My keys were stolen so i cant turn it to on position. I pulled the wheel and stuff of and cut the alloy part with flathead, i rammed the screwdriver in bashed clip in etc.. whilst pulling on the little nob sticking out, it wont come out? the knob has then broken of from pullin so hard, i then tried the technique of prying it out with flathead, the black cover of the ignition that had the knob on it has snapped of and the ignition is still in can someone please give me some help? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hello???

Wow.. very nice mate.. thanks.

Its a VL.. There was only 25 keys made for them. go to the wreckers and borrow some keys.. anything HG monaro, kingswoods, and eirly commies.. move the key up and down as you try it.. you will find one that fits very easly. Matty.

Use minimum force to crack the alloy and once it is cracked put the key in the barrel and turn to "on" position and it will just come out EASY as. Now you will have it looking something like... last night i snapped my key, long story short, had to get RAA to tow me home, he told me it would be easy as to change the ignition barrels over, which it is, BUT i dont have a key to put it in the ON position... The 2 pins in the above pic stick out preventing me pulling it out.. Any ideas on what to do?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Muilty grips, snap the fu cker open, Works more times for the people steeling them but some times it can snap, So im told anyway.. Never done it... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Any ideas on what to do?? for future reference to anyone in my position i had to take off the entire ingnition barrel surround and swap it over with a 2nd hand one (thanks gav ) then buy a new ignition barrel and put it back together, sounds easy but took me a week to work it out lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my first barrel change took a very long time also.. i looked on here alot and no one would tell me.. So i worked it out and made this to help others.. Im a nice guy!

pics arnt working??

Haha, Hellbored.com droped the pics.. Ill see whats going on.. ok just spoke to the owner, Them pics have been there for years now and that server is now Gooooone, no backups of them. If anyone saved them please send them my way, ill have a look on my computer for them but i highly highly doubt it.. I can go pull mine out and put it back in and take pics again i guess.. Matty.

so no other model barrels will fit?

others will fit.. but be no better.. you could custom make one a guess.. Its just a key only switch.. mount a newer one somewere.. My mums Saab has the key barrel go like into were the gearbox would be (in a RWD car) in the mid of the car, ment to be near inpos to get out and around unlike the VLs were its just a bit of plastic covering all the wires..

Howdy All, trouble with the ignition lock aye?? me 2. I have a replacement lock by 'nice products aus' ready to be used, but if only the old one would pop out!. Its annoying me to death. If you tug on it it comes out maybe 3mm's. The times i have used a screw driver have put nice square indentations in the ignition surround. Please, somebody i need an easy and safe way to pop out the old lock. PLEASE!!

did you read the first post.. tells you.. just missing pics.
