This may sound like a stupid question, but what goes between the key barrel and the switch in order to activate the ignition?
During the strip the wiring loom was taken out complete with the switch. The part that fits to the steering column (inc the steering lock)was separated from the column and loom. Whatever fits between the two parts that allows the key to turn the switch is missing In reality it probably in the garage somewhere but seeing as I don't remember what I'm looking for......
At the moment I have to use a trusty screwdriver to turn the switch
Many thanks Harrypotter, once I had a better idea what I was looking for I found the spindle in a 'safe place' with all the other stuff I've been looking for!:D
no more using a screw driver to turn the ignition.
Just back from the garage. Opened a storage tray and there was my spare ignition rod. Weird!!!
Glad you found it, good luck with getting it all back together
There must be some form of adapter between the 'D' rod and the switch; presumably similar to the one used on a Disco 1, it has a metal adapter about 15mm long? (which doesn't fit my Landy rod, which is too small)?
I would have expected to find any adapter with the rod... however no such luck. Is there such an adapter on yours?
The Landrover parts catalogue shows none, nor is it in the S3 or S3V8 maintenance book.
