My car started fine this morning.
However, when trying to start it at lunch time, putting the key in the ignition, the key won't turn in the barrel to start the car.
Any ideas what is causing this please?
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Key won't turn in barrel to start car.
To clarify - that's In Car Entertainment - not frozen water

Steering lock?
Try pulling the wheel one way or the other and then turning the key?
Is this an auto or manual? Or a car that's been converted from auto to manual?

Mine did this about 7 years ago, turned out to be a worn lock and I replaced the little inserts that go inside the barrel so I did not have to replace all the other locks or the keys.
Actually my Vectra did this about a month ago, but for that I ended up ripping everything apart as I was 100 miles from home and 30 miles from anywhere else for that matter. A new lock set sorted it out.
