Key Snapped in Ignition!

[Finchowned]

Hi.

Snapped a key in the igntion earlier on a MK5 Fiesta :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:

It was also the wrong key! Does any one have any idea how much of a challenge it is to get the snapped bit out? Is it even possible to get it out?

Cheers.

magnet not pull it out or have you turned it

take barrel out and take it to a lock smith, should be no more than a tenner

It's actualy the wrong key that snapped in there so I don't think the barrel actualy moved anywhere.

I can't seem to get the barrel to move at all as it has two prongs sticking out holding it in place :(

Going to have to phone a locksmith I think :(

Cheers anyway.

Could try putting araldite onto the end and glue it to something to pull it out

see if you can get a strong magnet or get some nose pliers if you can get hold of the key,or drill the key out.

Lock smith might have some tools for the job? I know they have "broken key extractors"

Other than that, whats already been said.

you could buy some Q-bond and glue it back together and try and get it out, as Q-bond sticks like ***** and sets in 10 seconds. :y:
