Had a lovely experience this morning. Four days ago I hop into the trusty (!!!) beast and the key won't turn in the ignition at all.....steering lock firmly in place, key goes in smoothly etc but will not turn no matter what.
Never had a problem before. Remember seeing some posts here on ignition barrel faults so check them all out, tried all the little tips, even took the steering cover shroud off and played inside all to no avail.
Log a call with the RAC, arrange tilt tray truck to cart it off into the wilderness for rectification, probably new ignition barrel methinks, arrange hire car due to my location and no public transport etc. After being let down by tilt tray not turning up yesterday phone up and issue a meaningful spray on lack of service etc.
Bear in mind that I have been playing with this problem for 4 days trying everything but solidly jammed, no results.
Truck backs up and tilts tray, I get the key which they will need for the repair job, insert key, turn to show operator what the problem is and the blessed things turns with no effort, car starts perfectly, lock completely free and no apparent issues whatsoever!
I just stood there with a look and feeling of absolute despair, tried to explain to operator what I had been doing for 4 days.....thankfully he just laughed and said it happens all the time with various vehicles.
Slunk back into the house, tried to smooth down my goose feathers whilst also avoiding the sharp kitchen knives so as not to slash my wrists!
Now I know why I refer to the beast as my girlfriend....if it's got wheels or boobs it will be trouble!
(Oops, sorry ladies
)
Cheers
Very large goosey Mick.
