Escort Cosworth Ignition Barrel
Having a problem with my ignition barrel!! Started a few weeks ago had to wiggle the key to turn the ignition,thought it would be just a worn key so to confirm this tried my red master key and hey presto worked fine.So a little while later bought a new key from the Ford dealer went to asign the key to the PATS,put the red key in and that wouldn't turn without a wiggle and the new key wouldn't turn at all.Soon after trying the red key several times that wouldn't turn either, Great!!! Took all the steering cowling off to expose the ignition switch,barrel ,etc and took the ignition switch off the column,then tried the barrel once more and worked fine,tried the ignition switch that was fine but as soon as I put the ignition switch back on the column the barrel wouldn't turn.They both seem to work independently, but not together.Has anybody had a similiar problem or the same, or just knows what it is?? Switch or barrel??HELP APPRECIATED
