Evening all

has anyone changed the ignition barrel on a td5 disco is it a big job and what do you do with the key ie how do you get it on the old fob.

Cheers lee.
 
Not shaw on changing the blade in the fob . But getting the barrel off was not to bad , had to do mine after one of the little key within the barrel dropped blocking the key from going in it , after taking off the trim the only tricky bit is the to safety nuts to undo . I used a centre punch and just taped them with a hammer until there started to turn them just used mole grips to finish undoing them , just take care with the ignition immobiliser coil that goes round the Barrel , I left this pluged in , the rest all just unplugs , if your going to take the barrel apart to clean or repair take it in doors and do it over a Tray,as there are many many little parts and springs . :)
 
Had trouble with mine about 18 months ago cleaned the barrel out with spray and lubricated with ground pencil lead worked a treat ever since. Do not use wd40 or oil
