Took your advice Nick I tried releasing lock several times this afternoon after, having sprayed ptfe lubricant into the lock, and finally ,much cooler, it released.One thing I also did was rocked the front wheels, car was in park and joggeled the steering wheel.Now I have to see if it remains in working order. Thanks for the help
Thanks Nick looking at the haynes manual it shows a locking latch at the base of the housing press downward to release bolt.If I do manage to free without all this should I turn to position one and change barrel before I get the same problem.
Thanks Nick for the post I must admit that I thought that it might be the steering pin but I cant release it by moving the steering wheel.Does this mean barrel drilled out to get to the locking mechanism.Tried again to release today whilst cooler but no go.
further to my recent post my barrel has locked again.I have tried spare keys but no joy.I had a new barrel fitted about 6000mls ago barrel from GM.Do I have to get locksmith out again.and will gm supply a new barrel to suit my keys. any ideas.
Just had an MOT,Passed I had an advisory vehicle underside has slight corrosion to suspension components and sills.Is it worth treating this or will it continue any way,today my steering lock came on never had that before, is it the heat, should I lubricate barrel with graphite powder or wd40 or leave alone
