How do I repair my broken Ignition?

by **IRISHDAN** » Wed, 04 Feb 2009 2:08 +0000

As some of you may know my MX5 was stolen last weekend and i'm in the process of getting it back together. I'll need to order a full lock set as they broke the locks on the doors, boot and ignition but I want to ask if anyone knows what other parts I might need for the ignition system.

I currently can start the car with a screwdriver, it sits nicely into where the barrell for the ignition used to be! The little scumbags who stole the car didnt need to hotwire it so i'm wondering if I need a new ignition switch or will the lock set be enough?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a mk1 ?

Full lock set: http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info. ... cts_id/917

Before you go replacing all the locks, make sure you can stick an alarm into it right away afterwards :thumright:

By The Way.....

If you don't want to spend all that hard earned money on a complete lock set just go off and get a good alarm with CENTRAL LOCKING, then you can get different locks for the doors in a breakers etc.

One key for the new ignition - http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info. ... cts_id/921

The boot can be opened from inside the car (if you have that button in the box behind the gearstick....also available to buy on Mx5Parts - http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info. ... cts_id/135) and the doors can be opened remotely - BEEP BEEP etc !

Saves a nice bit of cash for something else.....or just put it towards the cost of the alarm :cheers:

Dont waste your time money on scrap yard only an mx5 barrel properly fits the rear switch i have seen lots nasty mods on stolen recovered cars i have broken, that have let unsuspecting owners down at 2/3 am in the morning its either new ignition from Mazda or used full set i have even seen a Lucas Hymac key arrive in on a car from Japan that worked for a couple of weeks< P

I was thinking of just removing the rear boot lock altogether and have the release switch inside the car. That's what I and a few others have done anyways.

I am going to go with the full lock set from MX5 Parts but i'm wondering if I will need any other parts?

Has anyone had to replace the ignition barrell after a theft?

Are there likely to be any other parts needed?

Isn't the ignition barrell part of the full lock set ?

Yeah got the full set including three shiny new keys with the Eunos Logo on them.

Very happy.
