Hi LAdies & Gents
Just a quick question, I am inthe middle of removing the instrument panel. I have managed to disconnect every thing but the wiper switch.
Could someone please tell me the best way of doing this, as I have read through my manual and can not find the bit that says how you do it.
Cheers Jim

Jim - small screw on the side of the knob allows u to remove it. Then undo the chrome retainer on the front allowing the switch to come out to the rear.

Thanks Ken.
How simple was that. Now am having difficulty removing ignition barrel. I can not get it into the lock positon so am having a spot of bother. I have a full replacement set of locks and the new ignition lock I have works great and was easy to remove the barrel.
Do you have any hints or should I seek out a locksmith.
Any body else please feel free to give a novice a helping hand.
Cheers Jim

You must have the key to remove the ignition correctly.
The switch will only go to the lock position with the key inserted, then push a hairpin into the release hole and turn lock to the left and the barrel will pop out.
If you dont have a key you will have to force the screw on ring over the lock barrel.

Hi Again Ken
I have a key and have done done exactly what you described (same as the manual). It would seem either the lock is stuffed, key is to worn as I can not get it to the lock position. I thought I was doing something wrong so tried it on my new switch and it came apart first pop.
I will give it another go, if it does not work I will resort to your second method.
Thanks again
Cheers Jim
