Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Morning Hope someone can help me, was off last night to France on a car trip with friends and turned off the car key felt odd then it would not lock I then realised that the lights on the dash as in millage part etc would not go off and in the ignition barrel the bit that covers it when you take the key out does not go over the key feels really odd, has any one had this problem before? Trying to get it fixed so I can go on with my trip so any help would be well received. Regards Philippe

POST 2Original post

To me it sounds as though you need a new ignition key barrel unit. I had to have one of these a few years ago because things had gone haywire . Good luck and have a great trip !

POST 3Original post

It is usually the contacts in the ignition switch start to break up, and stop the lock barrel from turning properly. There is an article in the Technical Articles section, showing how to change the switch.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
