Will the key turn enough to disengage the gearshift lock (so you can put it into gear)? If so, then you can jumber the switch to start it. You'll need to remove the plastic centre console, the panel where your keys normally sit. If not, then you have a slightly bigger job. You will need to make a special 3 pointed tool in order to remove the casting which retains the ignition lock. -- Grunff
