 Re: Can't insert ignition key Jonathan wrote: Try spraying WD40 in the lock first. I've had problems with turning the key once inserted, but a quick squirt of WD has done the trick and has lasted. You may find the key inserts once you've tried it. Can't hurt giving it a go. Tried that the first time but it didn't work. lpgo wrote: Some Dutch words it's to difficult / takes to long in Englisch.... Erasmo kijk eens met een loep in het slot... Als de sleutel in het slot gaat worden er allemaal kleine palletjes opzijgeschoven in de contour van jouw sleutel om de boel te deblokkeren. De palletjes worden door een veertje naar buiten geschoven / en door de sleutel naar binnen geduwd. Waarschijnlijk is 1 palletje te ver naar buiten geschoten doordat de schacht waarin het palletje op en neer schuift uitgelubberd is doorde tand des tijds. Waarschijnlijk kun je nu met een naald (van naald en garen) een beetje wroeten en het palletje weer naar binnen schuiven in de schacht. Waarschijnlijk is het palletje ook nog een stukje naar beneden geschoven doordat je met het inbrengen van de sleutel het palletje naar beneden hebt geduwd. Dus eerst het palletje weer naar boven trekken en dan terug in de schacht. Als het palletje terugspringt en redelijk blijft zitten gauw met gevoel je sleutel in het slot doen en draaien...DAARNA NOOIT MEER DE SLEUTEL UIT HET SLOT HALEN... Ik heb zo al menig slot kunnen redden....... Als het slot weer werkt dan kun je met een babyzaagje (klein ijzerzaagje) aan de zijkant van het slot een gleuf in het afgeronde boutje zagen waarna je het boutje los kunt draaien en daarna verwijderen.. Daarna kun je het complete slot verwijderen en een nieuwe erin zetten. Mocht bovenstaand niet lukken dan kun je nog altijd bij de doe het zelvert de grootste platte schroevendraaier kopen die je kunt krijgen het liefste met een zeskantige schacht zodat je er een baco op kunt zetten. Deze schroevendraaier met de zwaarste hamer in het slot rammen totdat hij er 1 tot2cm inzit; de baco erop zetten en met alle kracht die je in je hebt de schroevendraaier draaien..... Ook zo heb ik al menig slot (van mijn eigen A types en met toestemming van anderen; andere A types) opengekregen  Nou veel succes ermee en laat weten of het gelukt is. p.s. ik heb geen zin om bovenstaand te vertalen misschien jij wel!!!!! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna try that on Monday. Hope it works... Anyway still got to acquire some parts, hope to do that Monday on my way to work. Meanwhile I bought a Saxo for back-up transportation

Re: Can't insert ignition key Drove the Saxo all weekend, I really hate it. It's too silent, safe en sensible...
I can actually hear the radio instead of the engine, but the car doesn't communicate with me. In a 2CV you can hear if she is happy with your driving style or not. It does a zillion miles to the gallon but gives you zero smiles per gallon. With a 2CV every trip is a fun journey on it's self, the Craxo will just take you from A to B(and will eat your soul in the meantime).

Re: Can't insert ignition key Bummer didn't got the time to do it today. After tomorrow I'll be working on a different location for over a week. Hope to be able to at least remove the old lock tomorrow...

Re: Can't insert ignition key Haven't been able to pull it of yet...
Found a new lock, so that's good. If I understand correctly you need new bolts, but do they have a name/part number?
Also finally found my Haynes back but the instruction for replacing the lock is not that clear to me...

Re: Can't insert ignition key Its not easy. The heads of the nuts that hold the U bolts in place are designed to snap off upon fitting. Leaving a nut that has no sides just a cone shape. Often easier to cut the u bolts with a small grinder.

Re: Can't insert ignition key When you have a completly new lock including the house you can cut the U shaped bolt at both sides whit an angle grinder and a cutting blade. Then you can put the complete steering wheeel with lock away, push the 2 ends upwards. You can buy a exhaust U bolt from the same seize and put that in.........

Re: Can't insert ignition key Don't have my car here so it's quite hard to imagine from my head.
Does a 2CV U bolt fit?

Does a 2CV U bolt fit? No that is to small, it has to be something like a cx, (I try to keep it Citroen ) take your new lock with housing to the carshop and try if one fits!!!!!!

Re: Can't insert ignition key Today I could finally take a look at her, seems that there are no breakaway nuts but normal nuts!
Anyway so if I am correct I can now re-use the U piece? This afternoon after work I'll begin working on it, it shouldn't take that long...
