Hi all
Having a slight problem today after returning home, went to turn ignition off which was very notchy but managed to switch off but now the key will not come out at all. Tried wd40 but no luck cant budge it at all. Any ideas anyone.

cheers Jeff

The only answer to that is lots of WD40 and oil try working it on and off a bit. Failing that its mole grips on the key to try to pull it out, providing goes to the full off position. There's a fair chance of damage to lock/key but as I see it needs a new one anyway so nothing ventured nothing gained
Dave

Yea your right Dave sounds knackered anyway, I will let wd40 soak a bit more overnight and try bit more force tomorrow. Do you know if the ignition barrels are common with others or are they Marina specific mines a MK3.?

Cheers Jeff

I would have thought mk2 and 3 are same havent got mk3 parst book but column trims same. i suspect mini of similar vintage may fit again not sure
Dave

A quick google shows below Marina Metro
I think may be possibilty mini one looks very different
Dave

Thanks for looking Dave, I'll get it off tomorrow match it up with one on web. touch wood I can get one quick.

I don’t know whether yours is a Mk1 Marina or not? If it is and the key is on the left side of the steering column, you have to press the little button in by the key in order to remove it. If yours is a later car please ignore.

Hi all
Managed to get key out after a fight and thats never gonna work again, so got barrel out but cant find any for sale so far that match. The casing has NEIMAN 005 on it.
Any help would be appreciated

The BL mk2 part number is BHM 7034 Except GT and HL. BHM7089 is the number liosted for GT and HL. I dont know hat the difference is but suspect both will fit
Dave

Hi Dave
Thanks for part nos, been searching all day no luck yet.

I have some used locks with keys if u get stuck

DAVE the GT and the HL had an extra wire on the plug for the anti run on valve but I think the ignition locks are the same for the mk 2 its just plug has the extra wire .

Thanks baz might take you up on that if nothing turns up. Let you know how I get on.
