How many service hours to replace ignition switch in Jaguar?

on an X300 about 15 min..

under the cowling of the steering wheel, remove 2 x cross head screws.

remove the (black plastic) exciter ring off the end of the barrel if fitted.

put the ignition key in and turn 90 degrees clockwise.

about 40mm in, on the top of the barrel is a small hole about 3mm in diameter. press in a small Alan key (or a bit of bent wire).

when you manage to press the lug at the bottom of the hole and the ignition key is not be able to turn, pull it outward and remove the Alan key (or wire).

The barrel comes out complete.

installing the new one is easier..

put in the key and turn 90 degrees.

pull on the key.. if it does not come out.. job completed.
