Removal of Ignition Barrel

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Dashboard

To perform this operation, you need the ignition key: first, remove the plastic covers over the light switch controls, detach the controls themselves (they are simply clipped in), and locate the hole on the ignition barrel's housing; press down on this hole with a small screwdriver and turn the ignition key until the barrel releases, allowing you to pull it out. Take care not to damage the transponder coil of the immobiliser during disassembly.
