:car Parked up at the local Garden Centre yesterday, went to start the car and couldn`t release the steering lock or turn the ignition key. Called the AA and the guy had to butcher the ignition barrel trying to sort it out. Ended up with a hot wire system to keep me going.
The outcome is that I need a new ignition barrel and probably a new steering column :'( Imobilisor still works as does all the other electrics except the clock and outdoor thermostat.(fuse ?)
May end up fitting a switch for the ignition and a push button for the starter motor and forget the steering lock and new ignition barrel.
