Thread: Ignition key problem

I recall a few threads in the past about this same problem so there might be some sources for replacements in those.

I put a bit of graphite powder in mine and it was still working OK a couple of years later when I sold it.

Try the graphite powder first but if it doesn't work, remove the lock & take it to a locksmith who can strip it down & clean it out. That way you keep your original key to match the doors.


Moved to the D1 section too.

Thanks, I will try it.
I was hoping that I might be able to get a complete switch etc. from overseas or somewhere.
Of course I could just put a tumbler switch in and push button starter
button after removing the steering lock.
Might end up doing that as a last resort.

Should be plenty of places to buy from if it comes to that.
About 25 quid in the UK from LRSeries etc. Probably P/N STC981 but you'll need to confirm that....
