Guest jonnie205 Posted December 31, 2003 recently bought a 205 with no keys. I know the door lock are simple to replace but how do you remove the ignition barrel from the column with no key, also the steering lock is broken so would it be easier to whack in a new column?

Leet205 48 Posted December 31, 2003 jonnie, why dont you try a key from another one of your pugs, im not saying it will work but the chances are good becuase of the age of the key and wear on it oO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sergy Posted December 31, 2003 If you have the vehicle reg documents, might it be possible to get a key from peugeot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jonnie205 Posted December 31, 2003 yeah could be possible to get a key cut at pug but its £30 i think and i cant be sure that the locks on the car are the origional ones, might be worth the risk tho i suppose if its a big job to replace the ignition lock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSeuss 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Just get a lock set from another 205 (you must have a few). Replacing the lock barrel isn't difficult just use a haynes manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 241 3 Cars Posted December 31, 2003 Replacing the lock barrel isn't difficult just use a haynes manual. Yeah it isn't hard but you need the key to get the barrel out of the steering column by retracting the locking pins that fit in to the barrel housing. If you have no key but aren't bothered about keeping the barrel then try the oldschool car thief way of an old screwdriver hammered in or if you have use of a slide hammer strip the barrel out. The steering lock is a part of the ignition barrel so if you are replacing the barrel you would do both in one go. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jeremy Posted January 1, 2004 Would it not be possible to drill the lock barrel out of the lock, then use a screwdiver to turn the ignition thus enabling you to retract the locking pin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vanny Posted January 1, 2004 Its near impossible to drill these little buggers out! My uncle spent hours doing it on my grandads car, he's a fabricator and welder with just about every metal working tool available! Im told that if you stick a screw driver in far enough to get at the FIRST tumbler, then you can turn the ignition barrel to the first position and drop the locking pin! Alternatively (and a slightly quicker way) is to find a scrap car with the barrel and key and take the whole frame out that the barrel is mounted on. if i remember its four maybe six screws on a 205, the whole thing will comeout with indicator stalks, upper steering column (does a 205 have a split column like a BX though?) and ignition wiring. Then just swap them over on your car! Probably faster way to do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batfink 201 Posted January 2, 2004 if you want new I think Autofive do complete new lock and ignition barrel sets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted January 2, 2004 Swapping the steering column is quite simple; just drop the lower plastic suround, undo 4 11/12mm nuts and the 13mm clamp then undo the 4 philips screws holding the indicator stalks on and it should come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
