I thought id broken Katie last night when i got home. The key wouldnt come out of the ignition barrel, i got worried, kept tuning it and turning it, bloody thing still wouldnt come out  , only to realise that id left the gear selector in N  , i didnt know that you cant remove the key when its in N 

[PhilRich]

I can!  Shouldn't be able to, but it will

Drove a 7.5t Eurocargo at TNT which could be started with ANYTHING vaguely key shaped, ie flat and narrow, because the barrel was shot, could lock the doors ok though Was a bit disconcerting because the key fell out every time you went over a bump

Been there, done that. Negative thoughts do fill your head for a moment or three.

We had that with an Iveco van we used to have, as well as when the body flexed when going round left hand bends the drivers door would spring open, you didn't know what to grab first, the door or the keys which would exit the open door..............

I've been to several breakdowns like that.
The hard part is deciding what to write on the paperwork so that the customer is prepared to sign it!

My front door key used to start my Crapi easyily enough. ......I hoped someone would nick it,but no-one ever did.

Yep, but only the Sierra Cosworth was desirable enough to steal, which is why you were lucky if they stayed on your driveway overnight.

I didn't know the key was supposed to locked in. The reason is, mine comes out in any gear

I used to unlock my old work mates Cortina with my SD1 keys. The look on his face when he found out why his car was always unlocked at finish time He didn't like it much when his key wouldn't unlock my Rover
