Title: Ignition barrel help
Post by: nadz on November 01, 2012, 07:37:22 PM
I\'m not sure what the issue is but when I put the key into ignition it\'s hard to twist the key I have to play around wiggling the key for 5-10 mins for it to actually twist. Any help on this guys on what I can do??

Have you tried a few squirts of WD40, usually works well, if it\'s badly worn then you\'ll need a replacement :2Mad

I had the same problem before with ignition & door lock, a good spray of wd 40 & let it sit for a bit then give it a good few turns & it freed it up for me
