aarrrgghhhh snapped ignition key

<< < (2/3) > >>

jay2578:
you have to remove the cowl around the steering column, theres a clamp around the column, undo the four bolts and the whole setup comes off. a word of advice, dont remove the old one til you get the new one as its easier to match up the wiring

Range Rover Blues:
If you can get the barrel back to the off position you could try a Neobdium magnet, I have a one the diameter of a halfshaft and it's incredibly strong.

JimP:
Tried everythignt to get the key out, ordered a new barrell (well second hand of eBay!) am not going to remove the old one, it's only an offroader, will mount the new ignition barrell on the dash or something - would this work? or would thre be issues with steering lock etc?? any idea's?

Cheers

Jim

dxmedia:
Pull the back off the barel, take out the lock and pull the tumbelers open, the end of the key will just drop out.

Put all back together and get a copy  make of your spare key ;)

If you don't have a spare key you can start it from the back of the barrel with a screw driver, take the lock itself into a lock smith and they will make a new set of keys up for you for a couple of quid.

A new lock isn't needed.

squaddie_fox:
to be honest you dont even need a key, but i will not post it up on here or pm to someone i dont know/trust. dont want that kind of information in the wrong hands now do we? [-X
