Ignition Barrel?

Yeah that's what we've called it in Aus for years. Fair few models of ford/holdens you can use a screwdriver...couple where so shit you could start them with the dip stick.

 

Also @enocadrian13 if that's your and you need a replacement don't put the new one back in without orientating to steering lock to match, fucker wont go in otherwise.

Silent build - You know your pc is too loud when the deaf complain. Windows 98 gaming build, smells like beige

Maybe it's better to appeal to the professionals? I mean car service. In Auckland I usually go to VINZ car workshop. I know that I can rely my car to these guys. They have never failed me. So please consider my advice.

Changing an ignition barrel is a pretty simple job, just gets a fit fiddly. If possible get a set that includes new door locks, more work but worth it to only need one key. 

 

As for repairing one, not recommended as they're designed to be replaced (only worth it on a very original classic).
