key wont turn in ignition barrel

[BAD63R-V6]

Yeh this exact thing happened to my old 2.5 Calibra. Never did get it sorted but when trying to turn the key, I had to wiggle it whilst pulling it out very slowly for it to catach correctly. Mine was down to the fact that the key was starting to where a little and wasn't putting the pins in the right position for it to turn. So replace or s said above, wiggle it and have a bit patients.

I had this when I picked mine up, was sat at a petrol station blocking the place because I couldn't get the key to turn no matter what. Turns out the tumblers in the barrel were all jammed up, gave it a good spray with WD40 and it was fine.

barrell is out and car will start with key by transponder, but with no ignition barrell the steering lock comes on

what i need is another barrell and key, and get a dummy key cut so as to start the car and have my key taped to the transponder and hey -ho it should go


any one got a key and barrel

Have you tried a squirt of wd40 in the keyhole?
