***** I will point out that the steering lock on my vehicle was stuck off so vehicle steering could be turned with ignition key not even in the lock, i removed the above and notice that the lock itself had jammed up :( not sure if it was just the motor or the lock broken, but had a good look after playing around with unit for a while i connected the old unit back upto the car with turned white spindle by hand and bang the ignition lights turned on as they should registering the steering lock was off in the comfort control module, what i did then was removed old circuit board from old lock then removed this from new lock unit, i then fitted the old circuit board onto the new lock and tried ignition again and yep steering lock came off and ignition lights came on a vehicle started, Then fitted everything back to vehicle using the new saftey bolts and yep all working fine , I sprayed it a good few times and each time worked the switch in and out with my finger. You can now see looking at the board that there are two limit switches, i left the top one well alone and concentrated on the lower one, my contact cleaner destroyed the little green seal so i pulled it right off to make it easier to get the spray right into the switch. The circuit board can then be removed, it is held on with what i think is T8 torx bits as none of mine fitted (T6 and T10) but i had a small flat blade screwdiver that fitted very snuggly and used that. The motor and mechanism can now be gently prised off as it is clipped to the circuit board, i gently teased it away by prying between the white plastic spiral cam and the silver actuator arm it operates. Once the cover is off i would leave out the anti tamper device which is the little bit of black plastic and spring in the photo above. I achieved this by sqeezing the end where the blade is as there are clips and prying the other end up gently with a flat blade screwdriver, you are best to attack it from the bottom side in the photo below as this is opposite to the circuit board so no risk of slipping and hitting it. The black plastic cover now needs to come off. With the lock off on your bench (kitchen work surface in my case as it was cold outside :p ) You can see on the underside is the large flat blade that sticks out into your column, and also the the little slide that will slide across to lock the blade down when you remove the black plastic cover. to do this i used a small cold chisel to tap around the anti tamper bolts that secure it to the column, They are not that tight so come out pretty easily. The black box on the far left of the photo is your steering lock. I found refitting the column was easier with a second pair of hands but easily doable on your own.
