Any advice for removing the two security pins which hold the ignition lock assembly in place on a Puma Defender 90 (2015) please? I’ve sourced a replacement including new security pins and want to try the repair myself. Am thinking of using a pin punch to loosen the existing pins? Thanks for any advice.

What's wrong with the current one?
Everyone has to have a first post I guess? I’m new to Land Rover Ownership and this is my first fault which I wanted to do myself. The ignition switch wouldn’t turn at all. After a few hours of gentle WD40 assisted persuasion and an RAC recovery to home, the key now works again but it’s not a smooth operation. Replacing the switch assembly seems a sensible move so I asked for advice on the forum. Didn’t expect an outright rebuff.

I am sure you must know that Defenders get stolen all the time, that is why any security questions as a first post will be looked at with suspicion.
Saying that you would be a pretty poor thief if you can't break an ignition barrel!
Try your punch, it might work, otherwise drill the bolts out.
Or you could try WD40 dry PTFE spray first.
