How to remove a Renault ignition barrel 

Same did I!

Yes, I have the same problem. Did you drill it out?

I have the same problem. Did you handle the ignition switch?

@@annamaja25 I found the key in a field, thankfully. So I was able to just start the car. I think you would have to use the barrel in the car door to cut a key, then use the key to turn the ignition.

did you change spring ? I have save problem renault clio 2003 :) ?

SUPER!!

I couldn't turn the key. After vigorous wiggle it turned. If you can't turn the key i can only think either to drill out the push button from the bottom (should be tight space but enough) , or removing the steering column and drill out both parts on a bench

No need program but you just need to took the new key in the old key

Put the new key that you will receive with the new ignition on the old shell where there is the chip

You can just remove the metal part of the key from the key body. It is just held in with a screw. I don't think changing the ignition switch affects the central locking but I could be wrong....

chris wakes hi there yes the key fob is linked to the car via the immobiliser and the central locking. If you are changing just the ignition barrel you will be fine but you will have two keys like you say so what I done was bought a matching ignition barrel and key and swapped that key blade itself into the original key /fob and that solves the issue of having to carry and use two different keys to get into it and then to start it. So therefore the car can still read the fob and the new blade matches the ignition. Don’t forget to keep the original key blade

How did you get on with yours?mines just gone on my logan?

No, key is programmed to uch computer, barrel is just a mechanical thing

Nice one I reckon it’s gonna be same on my van, only problem is keys were lost, had a guy make a key but he drilled the lock from front took all the gubbins out and said now just change barrel I can start van but starting locks on some lock smith he is

Well, I've got an 11 plate Kangoo van and it was exactly same as in the video, so you got a good chance.

Thanks for the instruction, the garage wanted £180 min for this, I bought a switch for 18 on EBay followed the detailed instruction of your Vid took 30 minutes from start to finish. Thanks your a STAR.

I have the mm worries have you found the solution ??

I bought a Dremel and cut the top off the button....thanks

If you cannot turn the key in the barrel you will need to cut or grind the top off the release button with a grinding tool such as a Dremel. Then the whole ignition mechanism will slot out.

Ensure that the security screw hole has a thread. If not, screw the security bolt into the hole before you re-assemble the unit as it will be easier to tighten once the unit is in place. My replacement unit did not have a screw thread where the security screw fits in to. It's aluminium.
