Busted ignition barrel

Post by Boxwolf »

The ignition barrel on my BX has broken in such a way that one of the tumblers is jamming the key from being inserted. Does anybody here have a nice spare one?

Additionally, how difficult is it to fit a new one?

thanks in advance.

i had this problem, its easy to change the complete barrel - somthing to do with pushing a tab or pressing somthing with a screw driver i recall - you need to check the haynes manual. Anyhow i did this a year or so ago and my local citroen garage were able to order the barrel for me
all i want for christmas is a dukla prague away kit
