Has anybody had there ignition barrel break?

Yesterday when I went to start the car something snapped when I turned the key. I have taken the barrel out and the rod end had snapped. I have got a replacement but have since found that the shaft which the barrel slots into has got some metal internal sections broken aswell!

Has anybody else had this happen and does anybody know if the metal ignition barrel shaft which looks to be attached to the steering column can it be changed or is my car f****d??

Thanks matt

it is attached to the column but it can be removed and swapped, you will have to drill it off though as they are attached with snap off bolts

i know this cos i removed and sold one just last week and my dad had to drill the bolt out

That's interesting to know thanks.

Can you give me anymore info on this please? Take it after bolt has been drilled you can replace the bolt? What would I need to remove etc?

I love my car to bits and have so much more to do to it but with all these problems and money spent to fix them im getting really cheesed off with it!

Cheers Matt

yeah you can just replace it with a normal bolt after, you only need to drill whats left of the head once thats off the barrel bit falls off and you can get mole grips on the rest of it

it might be a struggle doing it while its still in the car though, i had the entire column removed as i had broken the car

Right ok, cheers for that, would be good to fix it as said before. I'll have a look and see how easy it'll be with column still in place.

I've taken the barrel out the metal surround and undone the wiring section and transponder, got a second hand ignition barrel, 2x door locks and boot lock with key for £25 just need to get the metal surround now that the barrel slots into.
