Currently got both cowlings off despite the wheel being locked, how does the plastic switch end bit come off the barrel before I end up breaking something.

Also looks like 4 wires going to Ing Switch amy ideas which is which.
there are 2 tabs to squeeze to remove the ignition electric switch BUT I think you need the ignition barrel removed to slide it out , sorry
you can force it towards the passenger side with a flat blade screwdriver ,and break the tabs ,freeing the switch, then turn the switch with a key or screwdriver to on ( to do the windows up) but you'll need a new switch when you rebuild it all
can only see 1 tab at the front

rock the steering back and forth while wiggling and turning the key ,use reasonable force
you will need to resolve the stuck key anyway
if it breaks you have not really lost anything ,because the key and barrel probably need replacing anyway
thanks dave but trust me Ive tried everything, banging, tapping, wriggling, 2 keys etc, its not having it.

Code: [Select]
powerprobe on the window motors to close them.

Try some switch cleaner in the lock barrel and keep jiggling it and the steering wheel. This MIGHT be enough to release it.
This is a common problem on Vx ignitions in hot weather.

powerprobe on the window motors to close them. = Dont understand what you mean Nick

Ive tried WD40 and all the wriggling possible but no joy.
He means put 12v across the motor, providing you have the kit with you to do it.
on the windos motor plug there are 5 wires ???
If you've got a 12v source, just ground one end and have a prod, don't be a wimp.  ;D
last time I tried something like that was on aBMW and it shatered the glass.

If you've got the door car off couldn't you remove the motor, or at least enough so the cog isn't engaged in the winder mechanism, thereby allowing you to life/jiggle the window closed m appreciate if you haven't got the right torx no use.

Also as above, take a bit of load off the steering lock, and be gentle, even trying the key in alternate ways round can make enough of a difference. J had I once I sat there trying it for 20mins, everyone thought I was mad, clearly it was seized, but I would not give up, then it went. All you need is to get it to position 2 (I think) so you can pop the barrel out with an angled bit of coat hangar/allen key whatever, strip the levers out the barrel, then reinstate it temporarily.
to get the motor out looks kime wundow needs to be up, besides its all popped riveted together from the other side, so glass is in the way.

2004, not parked near Home, suddenly the Key will not work in Ing Barrell (wont turn or budge) and steering Lock is on, problem is both the Front electric windows are now stuck down as cant get the Ing. to switch on, limited tools on board.

1, have managed to get drivers side door panel off, but looking at it I dont think there is any way I can force the Window Up, any ideas on this?

2, Any way I can force the Ing. to be on ie, force Relay etc, or electricary so I can at least get the windows up?

3 Any other thoughts or help would be great.

2008 Astra estate 1.6 petrol estate
Above car was damaged in collision with another car, damage is mainly front bumper, car is still driveable. I have a dead 2004 Astra saloon with good front bumper. Will it fit?
If the 2004 is an Astra G then No.

General Discussion Area / Watermelon - Ice Cold
« on: 26 July 2019, 01:30:22 »
Our local Asian / Turkish Supermarket were giving away Ice Cold Watermelon to all its Customers yesterday.  :y

My point being what a nice gesture to the local community in this current heat wave, but more to the point how refreshing it tasted, absolutely fantastic, how can something so simple be so refreshing and cool you down in the heat, how often do us Brits buy Watermelon ?  :-\

Yes, a very interesting set of facts :y :y

Russia were certainly not too far behind the USA, after they had after all started the whole space thing off getting Sputnick into orbit, before the USA could get their satalite ready, in 1957.  Then Russia got a dog into space, another first.

But of course the conspiracy theorists will say it all never happened, it was all done in a warehouse ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D. ;)
it wasnt a Warehoue, it was a Bread Factory, get it right Lizzie.

I was fortunate enough to go to Russias Star City Space Centre when I was in my Teens, and have to admit it was very impressive.

So who did Win the Space Race then, ? Put it this way, if you want to go into Space these days you need to learn to speak Russian and Take Off in a Russian Spacecraft in the middle of Kakistan.
