Matt_H:
oh dear, sounds like another discovery job!

Are you good at getting those sorts of things out or do you need some pointers?

well, on most cars I have worked on there is a small hole some were on the case of the barrel that you can insert a 3-4mm drill bit then turn the key to ignition and the "key part" then withdraws, I have not found any hole on the casting to insert a drill bit,and the actual casing is secured to the column with sheer bolts that are designed (and have) broken of when they were fittied. I could chisel the sheer bolts loose have done that in the past, but its a real pain !

I think myself competant with the spaners, swapped engine on sunday and axles this week, its just when i find something hard its normaly cos there is a knack that some one else knows and can save me ages....

Matt_H:
Are you sure they are shear bolts or just normal 'land rover bolts'?

lemme take a quick look in the garage I may be able to quickly find the barrell of a disco so we can see where the hole is if there is one (prolly under the clamp

Saying that I rem when I bought it I was told the ignition lock was changed - thats prolly why mine was easy to get off.

Sounds like yuo dont need any bolt removing tips then if you can do engines!

Matt_H:
sorry had a look in the disco box and down the side of the house and I cant find it - it will probably turn up when I'm not looking for it - which will also be too late I guess..

Good luck!

Matt

strangerover:
