Sounds like a worn key and or a worn ignition.
We can cut you a key to code, Its your cheapest 1st option.
If you dont have the codes, we can cut work out the code from a very good photo.

well iv had abit more play with it an have notie when iv done with the car an turn it if i put it at the STOP tab an remove the key an then replace the key it will turn an start on 1st go but if i turn it all the way to the point the streeing lock is enabled after removeing the key an then replace the key trying to turn it becomes an issue an i have to wiggle the key about for sometimes 10mins lol wait for the click an then it works iv also notice this is something that i dont think is right when i start the car i can remove the key lol when the car is running now am sure thats not ment to happen lol

its when i fully shut the car off turn the key all the way to the point steering lock is enabled an remove the key is when i have the issue the car starts fine every time its the turnning of the key to start it lol it just wont click an even wiggling the steering dont help its a pain

If the key can be removed from the barrell while the engine is running

The barrell and/or key are worn too much

Ziggy
 
i also have a feelings its the barrell an not the key the key looks fine but i only have the 1 key anyways so hope it isnt the key as getting a new key seems to be a hard way of going around things lol but then again how dose one go about getting the barrell fixed? will the car need recarding an new keys also or can the barrell just be changed ? as u can tell i dont understand much about it or how much its ganna cost to get fixed lol
 
your barrels worn
please dont pay for a new key as you will be wasting your time
it needs the barrel sorting of its wafers
car cant be nicked because car needs key chip
my own punto ive had to de wafer it due to sticking key and remember the more you try the more likely you will break your key

takes 30 minutes to sort your problem if you know how to use basic tools
 
s and b i wish i know what i was doing or i would have done it by now i dont know what to do with it an its a bug that i really need to get sorted in some way or another as long as i can turn the key an start the car i dont care haha lol
