ignition barrel will not turn

(1/3) > >>

robson:
Ordered a new barrel yesterday as mine was sticky today key wont turn.What do I do now. Drill out the barrel if so how deep? I now have a jammed drivers lock and a jammed ignition barrel. Any body want an Omega

deviator:
Take the key, turn it 90 degrees to the normal insertion way, whack the grey biscuit part of the barrel a few times. If that doesn't free it off, try again. If that doesn't work try turning the key whilst pulling in one or the other direction on the steering wheel.

Doctor Gollum:
Also see pm ;)

Migv6 le Frog Fan:
Try putting some graphite (pencil lead will do) on the key. It sometimes helps.

Doctor Gollum:
If the key is in position one, remove the shroud, and insert a 4 mm Allen key into the hole underneath the barrel. It should pop out.

If you remove any keyring attached to the key, the shroud should be able to be persuaded over the key for access  :y
