ignition replacment

[molly]

Whats needed in replacing a ignition ,had to smash mine up to get the steering lock off then started the car with the key near the ignition &a screwdriver ,but now I can't start it .is it fooked can I fit a flick switch and say a bundle many thanks .

[DarkInferno]

get a new ignition barrel and fit it... you could do it with flick switches but it would be a bit of a mission.

[molly]

Will the key need programing& would the ecu need replacing thanks .

[DarkInferno]

you will have to take the blade from the new key and put it in the fob of the old one.

no programing or ecu replacing required. You are changing the mechanical switch and the key that operates it,

the electronics is in the fob and doesn't change

Cheers for that darkinferno, do you know if all the 206 steering columns are the same, as i need to get one aa well thanks .

[DarkInferno]

Its the same for the 106, don't know about the 206 but i'd assume they are the same.

[DarkInferno]
