andyc Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ign switch is on its way out, quite common and will need to replaced asap Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebishop Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Cheers Andy can the ignition switch be bought over the counter or are they hard to come by ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Nothing available from GM any more. You modify a switch from a MK2 Cav or Astra or search around the net, splendid parts might list them Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantasrme Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nope that is an Ignition module (mounted in engine bay under the coil) not an ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebishop Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Cheers for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlinetta Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I've had a look at the link ...the item listed is an ignition 'module'...not an ignition switch (which is what appears to be giving trouble on your car...based on your first post above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
