Hi
I'm back!
Took the 306 for an MOT today. They gave it back to me with a busted ignition switch tumbler!
When I insert the key and turn the key, I meet resistance and can't turn the key enough to release the steering lock. After 10 or so attempts I can finally release the steering lock and start the engine, but it is extremely hit or miss.
Has anyone had first hand experience of this problem?
I assume it is the tumbler at fault. But could it be something else?
Can I simply get a tumbler from another 306 and fit it in this 306? Or is there some coded stuff to prevent that. I don't mind having a key for the central locking and another key for the ignition.
I have a spare 306 I am using for parts, so I can rob the key and bits off of that one if required.
Thanks
Steve
