sjr1988   10 #1 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) This morning I was driving to work, went to park up to go to Sainsburys on Machon Bank road, tried to start it after but nothing happened.. key turns over but nothing  Dashboard lights work, radio works etc.. nothing when I turn the key?  Any ideas? Do I just need jump starting?  thanks Edited July 13, 2015 by sjr1988 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

carosio   186 #9 Posted July 13, 2015 your key barrel may have broken it happens on vauxhalls  Does sound like the barrel, I had to replace one on an escort, got a good replacement from a scrapyard, just a different ign. key.

speleo1   10 #10 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) What he did he took all the tumblers from your barrel and replaced them into another barrel so you had the same key,  ---------- Post added 13-07-2015 at 09:33 ----------  when your ignition is switch of do you still have any dash lights on still  it may not be the barrel, Edited July 13, 2015 by speleo1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
