106 Ignition Barrel Lock

Has anyone else experienced intermittent problems with the ignition barrel/steering wheel lock jamming on a 106?



Every couple of weeks the lock fails to release when trying to turn the key to start the engine, and no amount of key/wheel waggling frees it. We normally have to hit the lock barrel with a hammer and apply a lot of WD40 to free it, but it is never a quick process. Don't really want to replace the lock, because then we'll have two keys and the car might be harder to sell...



Any ideas?



Cheers

This is true, though the new ignition lock will take about 6 weeks to come through from France! I should think a complete lock set would be the best part of 100 quid.

Also it is one of the better trim models, and has remote control central locking. A replacement key alone is therefore £70 because it has the transmitter in. For this reason a lock set is out of the question really. Hoping to solve the problem through other means.

Hello,

Well, if you change your barrel lock, you may buy a brand new one (that's what I would do), so buy a genuine Peugeot part. No price excess if you want it to match your old key. My brother's done it with a 205 fuel cap, ordered the key that fits (he had only one key with his used car, only opening driver door & ignition), and that was all right.
