Just a quick note in case anyone has the misfortune to need to replace their ignition barrel.
It's actually very easy - if you have the key & it will turn to the accessory position.
There is a small 'button' on the top of the barrel you can get to by removing the trim just below the speedo clocks -press it in with a small screwdriver when the key is vertical -you can feel it go down - and it just pulls out! About £66 from the main dealer & if you give them the chassis number it comes to fit your existing key - so no lock or key change
as you can see the button has been 'removed' in the photo - where the red rings are.
I hope it helps someone in the future - I thought I was going to have to drill it out or break the steering lock off!
cheers
Chris
