When you need to swap over the ignition switch on a 5th gen Lude what does it all entail? Is it just swapping out one for the other?

Pretty much - the screws are in awkward places (I used a screwdriver with a bendy attachment to get to them) and are easier to take out then put in. It's trivial but can take a while just because of the screws! And make sure you disconnect the battery first...I forgot then ended up having sparks flying around my interior!

Many thanks. Found a new one on Ebay for £40. I think the Honda one is a little over £70.

I haven't bought one as it isn't for me. Steve's uncle's H22a8 Lude can hardly move at the moment from what we think is the ignition switch.
