Today as i started the car i thought i felt the ignition lock a little stiff. 

When i came to start the car again, i felt it was a little stiff.  A bit of wobble and a hard press later it all worked. When i stopp ed the car and came from the shop i could no longer start the car. The ignition lock goes to the first position but i cannot take it to II to make the car start. I initially thought it may be hte steering ignition lock but it was not that. It did not feel like the steering ignition lock was in place. After a long time pressing back and forth i maanged to get it to start. 

Do people know if thi is just th ignition lock mecahnism or something to do with teh stering lock.?

 

could i just get a part from eBay and fit a new ignition cylinder?

advice would be grateful.

 

Shah.

i drilled the steering lock out in the end,the ignition cylinder is made of chocolate and the actual lock is steel so i guess like mine there is  damage inside the barrel
