Any ideas?

Thanks

I would contact Paddocks or other UK spares company as they are more likely to have the info specific to your vehicle/ region.

thanks for all the tips. I got the barrel out and took out two jammed brass tumblers and reassembled all the bits and pieces, not an easy job! The steering lock doesn't work anyway and I figured out that if the key jams again I just remove the black plastic switch mechanism at the end of the barrel and manually turn the keyhole in the middle and "presto" the car starts!

I will be ordering a new steering lock and ignition set from paddocks!

Well done, at least you not immobilized.
