New ignition barrel to match keys?

I might need a new ignition barrel as it;s playing up. Is it possible to get one made up to my key code so I can use the original keys? Thanks

 

Or is there someone who could repair it?

 

I would speak to C &C https://www.customandcommercial.com/about-us/lock-shop/

 

Perfect, thanks!!

Wow!!

 

Do you have an idea of how much he charge?

 

I've emailed, I can let you know when I get a reply

 

If it playing up on staring it’s not the key bit that needs replacing it’s just the switch bit at the back. I’ve just done mine on a 79. It a column off job but quite easy. Cost about £15

 

I think it's the barrel because I put the key in & it just won't turn, last time it took about 20 minutes of wriggling the key & removing it putting it back in etc., and some swearing.

 

I guess the other question is how do i get the barrel out? Got a JK one coming but would like to get the old one rebuilt so I can use the same keys as for the doors.

 

13.50 plus 3 quid postage for a re keying kit for 1 lock! Will only work on genuine vw key. Send him ignition code or a pic of your key!

 

Thanks. It;s proving difficult to get a straight answer from https://www.customandcommercial.com/about-us/lock-shop/

I think dave@dubkeys just provides replacement lock wafers so as locks can be keyed alike! Might be worth checking the ignition barrel wafers can be replaced first, or it may be a new ignition barrel then door locks, tailgate and engine hatch would have to be keyed to new ignition code! If this is the case a second hand ignition barrel might be the way forward as i dont think he can key to aftermarket locks! Hope this helps
