The lock itself is inside the barrel it has nothing to do with any electrical system

As above.....is the problem that when you remove the key, the steering is not locked?

I've only got 3 wreckers around Kempsey NSW and they all say no and 2 where on phones for heaps asking other wreckers, so what do i do? thanks Allan

Are you sure they will check that this is working for a RWC?....I've never seen it specifically tested as to check it requires turning the steering wheel with engine off which is very difficult....usually taken for granted that it works.
Send me a pm with your email address and I'll scan the pages on how to remove the ignition key and lock cylinder.
