Hi.
New to the site, so be gentle. Ha.
The last few weeks the ignition on my Van has been a little sticky. Usually, I place the key in with the buttons facing up. I did notice that if I place the key in the ignition with the buttons facing down, in turns a little easier.
And so, over the last week's have done so. However, this morning it was even more difficult to turn. I even got the spare key, which is never used and this too wouldn't turn. After reading a few tips I sprayed WD40 in the barrel. I wish I hadn't. It seemed to make it worse. Anyway, after jiggling the key and wheel, with no success, I gave the key and surrounding shroud a little tap with a hammer. This was successful.
I think I need to replace the barrel, but am unsure how and what I need to buy. Also, do I need to change the chips in the keys etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
