| well iirc if you take the barrel apart, theres like a plastic barrel inside it which you can can turn with a screw driver...
or get a new barrel, the best bits about the car is that there is no immobiliser on the key so a new barrel can go straight on | |

| How does the key work in the door locks? I found that a key will stop working like that when it needs to be replaced. | |

| well obviously haha, but if just a new key will fix the problem, that is WAY easier! And now that I remember, I did have the same problem. In fact, it was so hard, I broke my key off in the ignition! It was quite hard to get out, but I was forced to make a new key and then it worked like a charm  | |
