Going from a Tdi to a Td5/Puma ignition switch?

As per my other post tonight (about 'shims' behind the felt glass channels) i'm rebuilding onto new doors.

One of the implications is newer door handles and larger lock barrels. There's a kit I can get with a new ignition switch and three new barrels. This means I could use the one key for doors and ignition - but I wonder if the later ignition switch is a straightforward plug in, or is the wiring different?

I'vd no worries doing some basic wiring work, but if it's more complex than that, it might be too much of a hassle.

My car is a 94 300Tdi, the larger barrels and switch are for a Puma/TD5

Same switch has been fitted from 200 Tdi onwards

Make a note of the locations you remove the wires from the old switch as they are separate tabs not a multi-pin plug.
