Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: key wont turn in ignition?

« on: 01 January 2010, 16:57:51 »

The barrel from  Welung666 arrived but with a different key to mine so imoboliser wouldnt fit So took both barrels apart, writing down the numbers and started to rebuild worked out I could use tumblers from both barrels to make one working one just used the numbers either side of the orignal order to allow for wear shame Ive run out of daylight, so will have to wait until tomorrow to fit back in the ignition.

I managed to get the key to turn, to get the barrel out, but since then I cannot get it to turn to take the barrel apart Ive tried lots of different positions of wiggling but so far it wont move. So if  Welung666 you have a matching door lock and thats easy to change :-? that maybe the answer. Neither of my keys work in the passenger door and due to my location and need of 4 x 4 both estates are going on ebay very soon so it would be good if door and ignition were the same key.

I had one more go at trying to turn the key and with a little help from some Mazola cooking oil and a bit of a wiggle it moved so taken off the cowels and removed the old barrel Im about to take it to pieces to see if I can fix it but thanks to Welung666  I have one in the post just in case its past it. So thanks everyone, again

I've got a barrel with matching key blade here if you're stuck Ali

ok thanks have sent you pm
I cannot get steering wheel lock off so cannot remove screws for cowels. Also found out I do not have home start so AA will not come out so any other ideas :-?

ok thanks, I have tried giving it a wiggle but no luck. Also sprayed wd40 but no good. I do have a spare key but that has never worked in the ignition, just door. I will go and try to remove it, but steering lock is on so not sure if I can get to screws :-? would the barrel out of my other estate fit?

Just tried to go out and the key will not turn in the ignition Neither will the spare. Just also found out that my son went out to the car tonight and unlocked it with the key, somthing I never do. He then put it in the ignition and HE said it wouldnt turn. Im not sure if he has done something to the immobiliser or has the barrel just gone Any help would be great, if not will call out AA tomorrow.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Earth Wire

« on: 22 September 2009, 18:08:40 »

After changing the alternator Im still having problems. I think its an Earth problem and suspect the Earth from the neg termanal, to underneath the battery tray. ( remodified to get alternator out  ) Im not 100% sure I have put everything back correct as had to do it over several days. What wires should be attached under the tray and how do I test that it is a faulty earth wire from the battery. I had a real job to get alternator out and could well have damaged something

Yes I have aircon, I was wondering if this was out of my league  :-? too many other things wrong with Syd to warrant paying lots of money to fix, so maybe time to scrap both cars and get one that is trouble free. Ive kept them both running through the summer but as fast as I fix one thing something else goes wrong   if the pipes get in the way is it an access problem or is it that it just will not come out?
