Ignition (Barrel) Switch.

Hi guys ....... anybody out there had any problems with their ignition switch barrel, mines a bit slack / sloppy when inserting the key and sometimes is difficult to turn.

Is this a common problem, is it a warranty fix ?

Cheers

Re: Ignition (Barrel) Switch.

A dealer once did something to the steering; when I next turned it I nearly snapped the key cos normally it takes a bit of effort to turn it.

The dealer did something to the steering again, then it was back to its normal-self again
