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.
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.
They do, typically this is an introduction.
