I don't know if anyone has had this - the key seems to becoming more and more sensitive to a 'knack' to engage and turn in the ignition barrel.
Have to stab it in and out a few times before it will align and then turn. Any thoughts?
It seems to be getting worse too. I was at a petrol station the other day and took about 5 minutes before the key found the sweet spot and was able to turn. All the other times it just goes in but isn't free to rotate..

have you got a spare key you can try to rule out your main key being damaged?

I have, but haven't and will

Check inside the barrel to see if the ball bearing has dropped, also coat the key in WD40 or a thin oil and push it in and out a few times, be gentle though and allow the lube to work in

I'm not getting involved. I've messed my undercrackers just reading the thread so far.
