From memory its snapped near the top, craddocks do a replacement barrel for one, but how do i get the old one out?

I spent a very cold night putting in the wiring on my series 3, not as bad as i thought, well as long as i thought about it logically. One of the things i noticed was that the key is snapped of inside the ignition barrel, and i have no spare key for it. So the question is can i get a new key...

Going to try any get some heat on it later, and hopefully a good dosing of wd40 will free it.. Just when i thought id have an easy job with it :-) Was freezing working in the garage last night, time to upgrade the heater me thinks..

Thanks for the help..

Picked up the second half of our project yesterday, thought i post on here see what you guys thought. The first part was a written off ex military series 3, the usable parts have been stripped off ready to be transplanted on to the the newly arrived part completed series 3. Need to rust cure...

Yeah seems a shame to scrap it if someone can make use of it though, think i'll put it on ebay, min £50, then if no one wants it i'll take it to the metal man. Need to make room for the replacement one..

Hey guys i've been stripping a ex military series 3 land rover which is a accident damaged write off. The main area of damage was the front passenger side, so there was a lot of valuable parts, where im now using on another build. My question is this i now have the chassis which is bent just...
