Frequently asked questions

What does the ignition switch (579084) do?

The ignition switch is the electrical unit inside the steering-column lock barrel, operated by the ignition key. It switches the 12V supply to the ignition and starter circuits through the key positions. This is the diesel-column version for Series 3 and early diesel Defender 90 and 110.

Which vehicles does this diesel column switch fit?

This ignition switch fits the Series 3 diesel steering column and early diesel Defender 90 and 110 built 1983 to 1987, all 12V. It's the diesel-specific version, so confirm your vehicle has a diesel engine and the column-mounted lock barrel before ordering.

How is the column ignition switch replaced?

The ignition switch typically fits into the steering-column lock barrel and connects to the loom by a multi-plug. It's usually a straightforward job with the column lower shroud removed, needing no specialist tools. Disconnect the battery first, since the switch feeds the 12V ignition and starter circuits.
