A main agent should have all the details on their data base of your key numbers just pop in and ask them to look up the key numbers for you. Replacements though cost an arm and a leg For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

My Ignition Lock is being replaced today under warranty, similar symptoms, sometimes I would spend 5 minutes trying to get it to turn, most frustrating for the drivers behind me in the Fuel queue.
Being replace with an assembly using the same lock codes hopefully or its back for hem to replace all of the locks so that I only need the one key. NormanD WE191 2015 110 XS Utility 2014 VW Caravelle 180 Executive |

Try a bit of spray grease in the locks. (not the white stuff)
Are they original keys? or has someone had some copies made? |

Thanks all
They are both original keys. I will get some spray grease as you suggest and give that a try. |

Changing barrels looks a bit more of a faf on mine - there is no screw that can simply be taken out as far as I can see.
Is it straightforward? |

I can thoroughly recommend graphite powder. I had a sticky lock barrel on my old 90 and it transformed it. Because it's a dry lubricant, it doesn't attract dirt either.

for graphite powder you can also get a pencil and shave off some of the lead with a knife.
But some bottles come mixed with alcohol, so you can apply it more easily, the alcohol evaporates and leaves the graphite behind. |

That’s great thanks - maybe cleaner than the spray on grease
Cheers |

Agree with lra, bought mine from Amazon, it transformed my ignition lock. Time is precious, waste it wisely... Defender 90 D200 |

Can't remember where I bought mine but the bottle is as the picture. It works as a puffer and the fine nozzle makes it very easy to apply. I was so impressed that I went round and did all of the house door locks, too. Darren
