Subject:94EV Westy near theft: Update and Question
From:Martin Jagersand
Date:Mon, 16 Feb 2004 23:22:20 -0700

In a previous post I mentioned how my '94 EV Westy was nearly stolen
a few days ago. Over the weekend I surveyed the damage. Seems like
the thief gave up or was disturbed before making it off. In this EV
stering, ignition and gear shifter is locked by the key. The thief
made it past the steering lock but not the two others.

I was able to jumpstart it, and other than the ignition lock
cylinder everything seems fine. I'm hoping to replace the cylinder
myself (and not go through the insurance -- Alberta rates are high
enough even with no claim on the record...), but I can't figure out
how to get the lock cylinder out. Anyone knows? Usually there is
some way to release a pin or something holding it in, but I
couldn't figure it out.

Thanks,
Martin (82 and 94 Westys)
