Ignition lock problems in Fareham
Ignition faults tend to creep up gradually and then fail at the worst moment. If your key is giving you trouble, Immediate Access can come to your vehicle in Fareham and look at what's going on. Our main ignition repair page covers the service in general.
Common symptoms
- The key is difficult to turn
- The key won't turn at all
- The ignition sticks or feels rough
- The key is stuck in the ignition
- The key has snapped or broken
- Wear in the key or ignition components
Diagnosis first
The same symptom can have different causes. Sometimes the key itself is worn; sometimes it's the ignition lock; sometimes another component is involved. That's why the fault needs diagnosing before deciding whether a repair or a replacement is the right answer — so you're not paying for parts you don't need.
Snapped or broken keys
If a key has snapped, or part of it is left in the ignition, stop using it and call us. Forcing a damaged key can make the problem worse. See broken car keys for more on this.

When you call, have the make, model, year and registration to hand, along with where the vehicle is and a description of what the key and ignition are doing.

Common questions
Does a stiff ignition always mean replacement?
No. The cause could be the key, the ignition lock or another component. It needs diagnosing before deciding between repair and replacement.
