BogMonster Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you have got it out but its twisted hammer it flat and shove some very fine powdered graphite in the lock, once it all starts working again it should be fine. I am not sure if you can get just the blade or not, but quite possibly. If it is a D2 with the integral fob/key all in one, then yes it will need programming IF you have to replace the whole thing.

pw8757 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 One of the best ways to get graphite into a lock to "lubricate" it is to rub a pencil over the key blade so it is blackened, insert and turn it through its full cycle a few times. Useful thing to do every month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticbadger Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm having a similar problem with my 1999 Disco 2. The igintion wont turn with either of my keys, to the point now that on the weekend I had to strip out the barrel, remove the steering lock and now use a screw driver in the ignition switch! (the igination switch is seperate from the barrel, so no lasting damage has been done) Is a pair of new blades likely to solve this or do I need a new ignition barrel? If I get a new barrel, do I need new door lock barrels too? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If you get a barrel made to match the car keys you have, you wont need to change anything other than the barrel. If you get a barrel and keys from a breaker, then you'd be wise to get the door locks too so the keys matched. You'd then have to transfer the new key blades into the old keys, so you retain the original immo transponder and you shouldnt need to reprogram anything.

MJIbex Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Be aware that ordering an ignition lock to match the original can take some time. We've had some at work on order for between 2-4 months that have all turned up in the last 4 days. I don't know if this waiting time is typical or whether they have just got over a back log. A ignition barrel cut to a specific number is also about £30-40 more than a random 1. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
