My key is stuck

[EvaG]

Hi My key is stuck in the ignition - I can start the car but I just can't get the key out - any thoughts?

 

[anyweb]

what car is it ? have you tried wobbling it in each of the different positions ?

 

[stumpy]

Mine did the opposite once. Could get the key in and out, just couldn't turn the ignition. After much joggling it freed itself. Have you tried swearing at it?

 

[EvaG]

I've done a lot of swearing at it funnily enough - I've also flooded it with WD40 - the hammer is next (unless it's stolen first) - someone is bound to realise the travel rug over the steering wheel every night is suspicious!

Ooops sorry - me again - it's the 190e auto 1988 model (E reg)

It's time for a new ignition barrel. Order from the dealer and it'll take about 5 days to arrive, keyed to your car. You'll need the V5 and ID to order & collect the barrel

Do not remove the key till the new barrel arrives & is fitted otherwise you're likely not to be able to get it in again. A large bill will then result

The chances are that it will need a new barrell or DAS lock.

What is the first 6 VIN number WDB------

Try putting the park brake on, some models require this.

Plus the foot brake to remove it.
