Hi guys, This morning my dad went out to work got in the car put the key in the ignition. The key wouldn't turn to start it. And the key won't come out. I don't wanna pull it incase I brake it. Any ideas? Any help would be great  It's 1.1 L
Cheers Matt

Could try giving a peugeot garage a ring see if they'd offer some 'advice'... most likely reply will be "bring it in for us to take a look at it"..

It worked I turned the steering wheel all way to the right. Had no luck with geting the key out. Then turned it all way to the left then it just releases it to pull out.
