Ignition lock as in the actual keyhole and steering lock, or the blackbox and wiring?

 

[Martin]

did they lever the igntion barrel out- where the key goes in?

 

[tamson]

they done the lot forced the steeing wheel round smashing the casing.ripped the wires out from the plug then hotwired it.went to a scrappy to get the wiring to the switch now just to get a new unit costing 45 quid

car up and runnin

got a switch from a scrappy this is easy as you can rip bits of it to get into the SCREW that clamps it to the collum you need to drill it out.get one as close as you can to your year as they are different took the lock home and drilled it out dont be shy with it? removed the barrel fron the original lock .to do this there is a hole on the side of the casing find a good fitting pin push it in the hole and turn the key the barrel will then slide out.now just swop them over to replace the clamp to the car you need an 8mm bolt .all this for a tenner

I'm guessing it's fixed now then?
