It should be long term mate. It just by-passes the ignition switch, i believe that a lot of people have actually done this.

I had this problem, tried the mod and it didn't work (prob my fault somehow). I took out my barrel and tested the wires, the two that trigger the PAS, Heating and HRW was dodgy but all i needed to do was shove the wires back into the body and it worked fine, no need for this mod and definately no need to fork out god knows how much for a new ignition / lock set!
This thread is a beast though!

I have just got this problem to night on the way home, I am 100% sure it is the ignition barrel as it felt very sticky when starting.
On the pic on what to do its says the cut the brown wire but on the picture nothing has been cut, the two clips have been dis-connected and a green wire as been stuck in the light brown contector?
Some one help or an I thinking about it too much and confusing myself?
cheers guys

I sorted the problem but with a 25A Fuse, the following day it all stopped working again, Should I "up" the fuse to maybe a 30A or 40A?
Cheers

take the trim around your steering column off and push the six wires into the barrel properly, sounds like you have mucked it up when removing your key, sometimes you can get it to work again by moving the key around whilst the engines running. i had this problem and tested the wires to find which ones worked the PAS e.t.c and shoved them in, bin fine for months!
