Man up mate and twist the thing.

Maybe put some wd40 into the barrell assy to loosten it up for your new switch.

I see heaps of cars with a push button starter, its an aussie thing I think.
Good work in keeping it original, the switches are not exxy.

Cute Baby shot by the way, she`ll be ready for spanners soon

Nice write-up!

I think the start button was more thanks to the ricer crowd and the Honda S2000 which really started the trend.

Now all the euro supercars have em so of course we want our own 'supercars' to have a starter button!!

Been thinking about it for myself for ages, but of course I want a green one. Providing harder to find then first thought!

I think I've sussed out what the issue is. My actual ignition barrel is worn, so it doesn't engage the switch fully when I turn the key. Do you wanna know why it's worn? Cause my keys are too heavy!

1 Lexus key and remote
1 Garage Remote
1 Mk3 golf key
2 house keys
2 Steel VW symbol key rings

Believe it or not they are necessities, so i'm now pretty much resigned to the fact that I have to install a starter button.
