remove the plastic cover from under the steering wheel then undo the 4 13mm nuts and lower the steering colum. then remove the philips screw from the barrel. then insert the key and turn it about a quater turn whilst pushing the pins in at the side of the barrel. when the pins go in on the side of the barrel you can pull the barrel out of the colum and pull the wiring plug apart.
cheers m8 ive done all of this

dont think the wires just come off the barrell well they do sort of.
u can pull the black cap type bit down that the wires are connected 2 barrell side.
but theres a bit of metal holding them onto the barrell.
i also have to change my barrell.
so i was hopeing to do the same as you.
but i got a replace ment barrell and it had all the wires on so am just gona change the lot.
think ull have to do the same.
unless some 1 with more experience on this matter can help if so id love to hear how to do it also ?
try turning the key to the A position (as marked on the barrel face) then try pushing the pins inthe lock will come out with its wiring
oh forgot to add it is pos to replace the coulmb bushes withot removing eather the stearing lock and also the columbbut i am the master and only i know how
looks like i might have to go for the chop with the wires then and get the solder out. will have to try and remember where all the wires go etc. cheers 4 help people.
also any help on getting the bushes out would be much appreciated. and if only i had the help of the master hey bugger lol

yer i no the lock comes out with the wiring .
what i wanted to know is can the wiring come off the lock?
the wiring stays on the lock and is about 3 inches long and there are 2 black plugs which connect to the main loom, just pull them apart. follow the instructions i have written above and you will see what we mean.
got the barrel off the steering colum i ended up cutting the wires. ive just got the bushes out. now to put it back together..

you can see the plugs in this link, they just pull apart.
I'd give up whilst the going is good mate. You're wasting ya time...
lol sorry people. ive got the wiring all sorted now. i just cant get the barrel back in the hole. any help much appreciated. ta
also the wiring on mine had been changed, i have them connectors for one set of wires. and the other connector i only have one wire going in to it. and an immobiliser wired into the barrel wires i think.

managed to get it sorted. cheers 4 youre help every1
i know how the barrell came off all i wanted to no was can you get the wires off the barrell because the immobilser wires are wired into the wires.
and didnt fancy swopping them all over as my barrells fecked.
but ive worked something out thanx to all
i think as neither of you actually said in the first place the reason why you wanted to remove the wires from the barrel i.e it's been adapted for alarm/immobiliser, you would have got a quicker result. i myself have changed one and kno it to be a simple plug swap and couldn't understand what the problem was but it makes sense now. glad you're both sorted now
