Uhm, so my key doesn't turn quite a smoothly as i would expect it to normally in a car..

instead i have to wiggle it around a little, before it'll start, or come back out of the hole!




Anyway i can get the barrel off and open it up, maybe something is loose inside it?
Key works in all the locks around the car, so it's not the key.

Defo wasn't doing this when i got the car.

Haha. Aint no lying either!

it sounds like its fubar mate, time to get a new one and make sure you get the key with it, opening it up can cause more problems than its worth.

that would require getting a barrel? door locks? and the boot lock? and the petrol cap? D:

fords do a kit with 2 keys a barrel the door locks a boot lock and fuel cap for about 70quid mate. Ive had to recently do that as well mate but you do need to get the new key programmed to make it start though.

yeah in theory or now would be a good time to get them smoothed off

But smoothing it off would require me to buy a locking system! D:


I still have my old 1.4, could i use all the locks off that to put into my 1.6?
Would all the electrics still work for the doors though?


and what's this programming thing for the car if you change the barrel? D:
