Tried to insert my key this morning and it was hard to put in. It was like there was ice in it, but I finally managed to insert it completly. The problem is that I cannot turn the key at all. I dimantled the plastic column cover and it appeard that the switch is held up by 2 rivets around the column. Do I only have to drill those 2 rivets? Is the part expensive? ------------------ Michel it's going to be ready tomorrow, I promise http://www.azur.qc.ca/rallye

I assume you tried turning the wheel back and forth when trying to turn the key right? If the steering wheel is locked it won't let you turn the key. Sorry Michel... this is not to insult you with this simple suggestion... it's just in case you didn't know about this Later... ------------------ Mike J-Quadcylla-92 Laser RS-T, FWD Vortex Racing http://www3.sympatico.ca/robin.jackson2/HomePage.htm

90$ from Satan vs 26$+ 20$ US at Tall. It's not really worth it ordering from the states since it's going to take 3 days because they don't have it in stock. Apparently, it's not held up by rives but rather 2 bolts that breaks off when you tighten it. So basically you have to slot the head of the bolt and use a screwdriver. ------------------ Michel it's going to be ready tomorrow, I promise http://www.azur.qc.ca/rallye
