Hi Sheller, I write again. What problem had the plastic part you changed ? (min 3.15) I have this problem : When I rotate key in 2 position to start engine, the starter doesn't receive power. No sounds, nothing happens. Maybe is this part defective ?
Hi Sheller, please, when the mine of barrel is broken, and rotate the key in the second position, turn it self back in first position ? And, in first position, do the lights work ?
A rare video, showing how it's really done. Not just how I (mostly wrongly ) did it. For those driving on the right side of the road (and not on the wrong, left, side), the right-side stick, wipers, must be taken off, to have access to the hole withing which must the lever be pushed. Also, the key must be in a certain middle position for the lock to come out. And later also for it to come in. Thanks, I would never have found the hole and know I must push the lever inside it.
The rod that turns the ignition switch on the back of the lock, snapped. Its common. Went to a breakers yard picked up a Barrel and the key. (you need the key as well, and it has to be the same type of key as the one you have) Withdrew the lock from the barrel and swapped the pins from my old lock into the one I had just got. No need to have anything programmed. Disconnect your battery first.
I was quoted £200 to get this fixed. I saw this video and ordered the parts for £14 on Amazon. I fixed it today and everything works fine thanks to you! You’re a god send! Thank you so much!
Thans for the video my mom has a Opel Tigra twin top and if you put it op 3 it stay there and if you take the key out the dash is still on is this the same problem as u
Dude this vid has just totally saved me hundreds and hundreds of pounds with a knackered and broken ignition barrel resulting in the ignition being permanently on in my combo van. Power to you and many thanks for posting. Perhaps consider wearing trousers in the future!? Only joking once again cool stuff.!
Hi Christopher I think I have the same problem as you did my ignition barrell is turning all the way around but its not starting the engine do I just need to replace the barrel or the plastic ignition on the left side? My ignition lights are also on permanently vauxhall combo TIA
@@lpatterson5005 Jeez sorry not to have seen this before. I would think that the long pin on the barrel has sheared that was the problem with mine. I thought it was a huge huge problem but turned out to be a 40 quid fix from Amazon with the obvious need to love that transponder in your key. Hope you got it sorted as easily. Take care.
I figured out a way I like better and would love for you to make a video of it because it does not fit with my youtube channel niche. I leave the paint roller mounted on the handle and slide it off just enough to expose the hub near the handle. Then hold the chuck of my drill against it to spin. Hold the paint roller handle down over the lip of a 5 gal bucket for stability and splatter elimination. Expense = zero $ and zero time.
I can’t see the brass piece that needs to be pushed to reset it! I’m so close to fixing it I just can’t seem to find anything to push down, please help!!
