Ignition key hole

David Lawrence · 3rd February 2018, 11:58

This weekend i have noticed the ignition key struggles to go in the key hole. After a bit of jiggling it i hear a click then the key goes in fine. Seems like something is sticking in the barrel.

Any ideas? Does it need oiling or something?

Graphite powder. Squirt a little into the lock and then each time you operate it it should get a little better. Or sit there and turn the ignition on and off a few times each time you get in to speed up the process.
