hello people. for some reason when my steering lock clicks on, it stops the ignition barrel moving. i go to put the key in, and its locked totally solid - only managed to get it free tonight by gettin 2 of my mates to push the car along while i tried to get the steering lock off. anyone had this problem before? and anyone know what i could do to solve it? replace steering lock or something?
