OK, my wife broke the key off in the ignition switch.
The car was immovable, steering lock on, immobiliser activated.
About 1cm of the key is stuck in the lock.
I've got the lock off the car & am managing to start it with the broken key taped to the reciever & a screwdriver.
Has anyone got a suggestion on how to get the broken bit out?
I've tried the local locksmiths & their company policy is to not touch ignition barrels.
There's got to be a way, but I havn't figured it out yet.
The cost for a replacement lock is either £500 -new or about £200 s/hand
Any suggestions appreciated
