    Does the key come out of the ignition once it's started or do I have an old key or damaged barrel?

    Regards

    the ignition locks wear so the key comes out when it shouldnt, a new lock can be fitted but I havent been able to get the old lock out

    the door locks also wear so that often any old commodore key will open and start any old commodore

    I found that my VL key could open and start my mates VH. Only problem was, his would do the same. Which is where a clublock comes in handy.

    Had him make the mistake of chucking his clublock on my car once, so i ran to his car, got in and started it up and started moving it out of the parking spot. He took the clublock off mine pretty fast
