Ignition Barrel Replacement Specialists

Ignition barrels wear internally over time. This can cause:

• Key stuck in ignition

• Key not turning

• Ignition spinning freely

• Intermittent starting

• Complete non-start

In many modern vehicles, ignition barrel faults can also trigger immobiliser or steering lock faults, making accurate diagnosis essential.

We replace ignition barrels using correct diagnostic and programming procedures to ensure full vehicle security and functionality.

Electronic Steering Lock (ESL / ESCL) Repair & Replacement Crawley

Many modern vehicles use electronic steering column lock systems. When these fail, the vehicle may not start even if the key and ignition barrel are working correctly.

Common ESL / ESCL Fault Symptoms

• Steering lock warning on the dashboard

• Steering wheel locked

• Key recognised, but the vehicle will not crank

• Dashboard powers up but no ignition

• Clicking from the steering column

These faults are extremely common in modern Ford, Jaguar, Porsche, Mercedes and VAG platform vehicles.
