Hi everyone,
I wonder if you can help. I am trying to replace the ignition switch on my defender 110 non-turbo diesel. I am trying to remove the bracket that holds the ignition barrel to the steering column, and cannot for the life of me understand how I am supposed to remove the bolts. The right hand bolt had a screw thread, however the left hand bolt is recessed and does not have a head to it. It is just blank- probably for security.
Any suggestions on how I can remove this?

Cheers guys!:cool2:
