If he took the barrel out he would beable to remove the key so why would he want to buy another :wave:;) if he gets the barrel out hes still not gonna get the broken bit out. trust me the trouble ive had in the past two weeks i could write a book about corsa ignition.

	Should have just taken the box off the back to start it to get you home. Ignition barrel comes out easy enough.

	The bit inside the barrel has been pushed further by the AA man by mistake so the stump doesnt connect to the lost bit anymore

	Push it fully in and use the stubby bit that is left to turn and start the car. If it's all lined up, i can't see why it won't turn. If you have a spare then you can still open and lock the doors.

	I did that in the pit lane of silverstone at Trax a few years ago, ended up smashing out the barrel and hotwiring the car, still get my laps in too :)

	but the key has to be in the lock in a certain position, try putting whats left of the key in the barrel to see if the 2 bits will make it work, then move the key to position 1 and it will come about as above,

	Remove the ignition barrel and see if you can strip it down to get the key out. If its anything like a Corsa B the barrel is really easy to remove all you need is a drill bit and push it into the hole on the casing to release it then it slides out.

	None of the key is protruding, and no pics im afraid. The key is in its normal position had it still been attached to the key if the car was running :(

	Any pictures? How far in is the key, or indeed how much if any is protruding?
Ren	posted on 4th Mar 08 at 02:22
	...had to fork out £120 to get the car home :( How easy would it be to try and remove the key piece? Its about half of the key, and its been pushed in too far when I tried to remove it. The AA man used this tool to remove it, but couldnt do it. Any suggestions bar replacing all the locks? Corsa C 2003 btw. [Edited on 04-03-2008 by Ren]
