Ignition barrel query
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 10:34 pm
Guys,
My daily is being a pain. Firstly I had the car tracking done last week by a company. Since then the ignition barrel is really stiff and was sticking. Did the wd40 job on it but it's still stiff and sticking a bit when car is started. Queried it with the company who have said that it wasnt anything they have done. My thoughts are someone has forced it without wiggling the wheel to release the steering lock. But difficult to prove.
Anyway it's now got bad enough to the point of the electrics still being on when I take the key out until I put the key back in and wiggle it.
Therefore I am going to ring Robinsons tomorrow and Gsf to see what can be done.
My question really is, does this sound like a new ignition barrel job ? How much is this likely to cost and more importantly will it be the same lock as the one that's in there at the moment. What I mean is the same key ?
Cheers,
Gareth
