Cheers. No more updates other than the ignition stuffing up. The barrel and key where knackered
and it was stuck in lock for ages,eventually got it into acc. and after a whole lot of rooting around
eventually got it all out fixed and back together working.
Took the barrel to holden with the key and asked what to do. They wanted 80bucks for the barrel
and 140bucks to key the barrel to the key. They wanted the key for a few hours too.
Ended up going to a locksmith around the corner, got a new barrel and a new blank cut (old one was worn)
for about 150. Took 20mins.
No pics to post,the job was frustrating enough. Certainly dont want to be doing that again in any hurry.
One of them jobs where you could really lose your temper. Sat there jiggling the key for about
2hrs until it clicked forward into accessory. Then about a minute later i was fiddling and the key
went back into lock. Took about another hour to get it to turn again. Love love love it....
I'm actually very lucky i got it back to accessory or the barrel wouldnt have come out at all and i would have
been in some deep barney rubble.
