Key snapped on Omega 2.5 L reg
« on: 14 May 2008, 15:23:44 »
My key snapped in the ignition barrel.  Managed to remove the key and had actually already ordered a replacement barrel and keys set from ebay (car was broken into last nite and the locks were damaged).

Any suggestions on cheapest way to get the central locking up and running again?  Obviously I need to get the car secure as possible in case the eejits return again tonite.  The replacement barrel and key set won't turn up until tomorrow at the earliest

I take it you have no spare key ?

Do you have a tow bar ?

No spare key and no tow bar but can start the car up now (have dismantled the barrel to a degree)
