as if it couldnt get worse.. porsche was totalled by someone not paying attention, and now the jaguar has gone from "project" car to "get it up and running asap because volvos dont turn well" car. im trying to get the ignition switch attached to the back of the lock cylinder housing. there are 2 small screws that hold it in place and im having a nightmare trying to get to these screws to tighten them. does anyone have any tips on this.

Thank you

Jeff

I wonder if year and engine size would matter. Perhaps...you may want to provide some more info so the tech guys can have a better shot at helping you. Tough brake on the primary car loss. Hope you get to work soon. :)

Those no real trick to it. Just hold your nose right and it seems to come together when it''s ready. And for the love of Pete, don''t drop it! As tiny as those things are, it will take you longer to find it then you could possibly imagine. Speaking from experience with that one!
