If your Ford Transit MK8, Transit Custom, or Transit tipper is suffering from a jammed key, stuck barrel, or ignition that just won’t turn — you’re not alone. This is a very common fault across Transit models from 2014 to 2022, and Mr Ignition is here to fix it fast, professionally, and often same day.
We specialise in mobile ignition barrel replacements, ignition switch repairs, and key matching, so you can avoid downtime, expensive recovery fees, and long delays at the dealership.
Common Ford Transit Ignition Problems
Drivers and fleet owners regularly report these faults:
- The key won’t turn in the ignition
- The ignition barrel is jammed or completely seized
- The key is difficult to insert or remove
- Key turns, butthe vehicle won’t crank or start
- Ignition feels rough or makes clicking sounds
- Dashboard lights flicker or remain off when turning the key
These issues are usually caused by worn wafers, damaged lock housings, or electrical switch faults, and they get worse over time.
