lellard 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi guys, hope you can help me.I have had a new key made as I only had the one key on purchase.The key I got cut didn't work, so I went back to the shop to have it shaved. This didn't work, so I puffed some iron fillings into the ignition to break the key in as it were. Now the both keys wont even turn! I have already tried paper clips but it just wont turn! Would really appreciate some help! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 the auto locksmith we use at work could probably rebuild the lock Gatwick autolocksmiths 01293 536377 might be worth a call to see if he is willing to travel or maybe he'll know someone in your area that could do it Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 The switch hasn't collapsed has it? They fit to the rear of the barrel and just crumble over time when they go brittle causing dodgy start ups at best or jamming and not turning at worst. Only about £15 but a bitch of a job Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 yep a arse of a job , upper colomn out , drill out a bolt etc... but worth doing. sounds like the switch has gone for a burton Link to post Share on other sites
