Oh hell no, that key didnt just snap in the ignition
yep thats right was in work last night on my break, just about to go back in turn the key in the ignition and pulled ut what i thought to be the whole key. but it had snapped off in the ignition barrel. just wondered if anyone had any ideas of how i can sort it out. i`ve got 2 spare keys, but i would rather try and do the work myself cant really afford to replace things. does anyone know how i can strip down the ingnition the get the key out with out to much damage?

Re: Oh hell no, that key didnt just snap in the ignition
Brian If you have a set of 'watchmakers' screwdrivers file the two smallest into points(some sets already have a pointed one). You will need to dig the points in somewhere (either side or top and bottom, where ever you can get to)in the key to get a bite and then try to lever it out slowly, you may only pull it out millimetres at a time and it may take a while but it should work eventually.fatbob93 wrote:yep thats right was in work last night on my break, just about to go back in turn the key in the ignition and pulled ut what i thought to be the whole key. but it had snapped off in the ignition barrel. just wondered if anyone had any ideas of how i can sort it out. i`ve got 2 spare keys, but i would rather try and do the work myself cant really afford to replace things. does anyone know how i can strip down the ingnition the get the key out with out to much damage?

Well Brian, hope you get that bit out- otherwise it's ignition barrel replacement time.
This is on a 480 isn't it?
Let us know how you get on.

put a supper attack on the top of the part in your hand and put it in the lock again, so both parts glue together. be carefull you don't glue any lock pins, or you'll definatly have a lock change!

cheers for the help guys. this is the only time the volvo has pissed me off. i took all your advice but still nothing worked. thank god that a nice chap on ebay has sold me a full lock set with ignition for £28 with postage. so this week i`ll be replacing the ignition. pissed me off more because it happened like 4 days before my mot and tax ran out so now the car is off the road for the moment. god how i miss that car.

Actually, the ignition barrel will not come out usually unless you can turn the key to the second position (key in ignition fully off being position 0).
You'll need to press in a little catch through a small hole in the ignition barrel housing as you do this, a small screwdriver (jeweller's type) works well.
Then the barrel should just slide out easily.
Easy to put the new one in!
