I need car help >>

Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

What he did he took all the tumblers from your barrel and replaced them into another barrel so you had the same key,
