Tumblers in ignition key slot worn out on my >200K VDP, and switch appears to no longer available. Replaced one several years ago with the headless bolts, but does anyone know where to get a new one?
I’d go with David Boger at Everyday XJ

I got one from David. In great condition. So much better than the worn out one in my car. It fixed many ailments!! From erratic radio to no brake lights!!!
The “headless” bolts are “breakways”. The head breaks off on installation. A theft deterrent. I replace one of mine with an Allen head.
I found a small size house wire nut to be the perfect tool to extract them,
New breakaways are available. David may have them as well. He has NOS stuff as well as good used.
Good guy posts here, His “Necropsy” of a Jaguar is a priceless source of information as to how the cars are assembled.

A locksmith may refurbish the old one, BarD…?
