HI

The key has twice now decided not to let me turn it all - and no its not the steering lock.

Looking to replace the part but not 100% sure which part i need.

Is it this: http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... d=ignition" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

or this: http://www.justkampers.com/shop/ignitio ... 12404.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

difficult to say which, the first one is just the electrical contact switch which is at the bottom of the second one which is the mechanical lock which interacts with the steering lock - it may actually be the steering lock part that's not letting the key turn, I'd strip it down first and see what you find - be aware that changing the lock barrel isn't easy and it may be easier and cheaper to get a complete used ignition switch and steering lock housing complete with key and swap the lot - and fit a new electrical contact switch at the same time as they do wear resulting in bad electrics, complete 1 key van lock sets come up for sale, but if you change the ignition switch it is possible to retumble genuine door locks to the new key so you have a one key van
