I have a (UK) 1999 Honda Accord and have just received a letter from Honda
stating they need to replace my ignition switch as a warranty safety recall.
Will this mean new ignition keys? Wouldnt be bad as the key is a bit
'shoogly' as they say in Scotland. Thanks

Your 'lock' remains . . they just change the switch, which is attached
to the backside of the lock.

To clarify, see these:

the ignition switch is attached to the flange opposite the lock body, on
the right side of the pictures.

As far as the "shoogly" ignition key goes, hope Ed kept an original. If the
key's not "chipped", unshooglyness should be achievable for a couple of
pounds at a local hardware shop.
