Today i did a few chores in the van, all fine, except the key now won't go into the ignition barrel
I parked it on a slight slope and toed the front wheels into the kerb, took the key out, am pretty sure the steering lock locked
Came back about an hour later and the key goes in a bit but nowhere near enough
Had the AA out but despite lots of jigging, poking and rocking nothing worked
AA think its either the steering lock stopping the key, although the wheel turns and there is an audible click, or the barrel has broken
I've tried both ignition keys and no joy with either
Any thoughts, ideas people may have would be welcomed
many thanks
Gerry
