No spring in ignition barrel!

[Struggler]

As above,

turn the ignition on,

turn the key to run the starter motor, and theres no spring,
no resistance as you turn the key, and key will stop where ever you let it go,

you have to physically turn it back to turn the starter motor off!

any suggestions??

Mine did this. MOT station guy burnt out the starter motor too when it went in, even though I told him.

New barrel or fit a start button.

did you get a new barrel??

how much did it sting you??
the cars getting fixed to sell on, so would rather keep to the factory options,

im guessing theres no way of opening the motor either?

I wrote it off before it got repaired lol
Foxy said something about taking it apart, I didnt try it though. You can easily take the barrel out and do the locks for about £40, its the reprogramming that the expensive part.
