#15: Re: Key stuck in the ignition Author: Junglist206, Location: KentPosted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 2:07 am ---- 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.

Think steering lock gone or barrel. To start the car, you have to turn the steering wheel all way to the left then turn the key lol. Typical of my luck lol.

Great immobiliser lol. Glad you got it sorted.
Just out of interest, do you have a spare key. It is possible the key is badly worn. Spending a fiver on a new key blade is better than having to replace the barrell
