None of my four keys will go into the ignition. They'll all open the driver's door and the boot but they won't go into the ignition.

This is seriously weird because I put one of them in the ignition on Tuesday and everything was normal (apart from a completely flat battery).

It's almost as if someone has deliberately jammed something in there (e.g. a nail!) but I can't see anything amiss.

The steering wheel turns freely so the ignition lock is off. Door locks all seem to be working normally from the remote but then they would anyway.

I've never seen anything like this before. No1 suspect must be the barrel but I can't see why it would suddenly go on the blink on its own.
