speedy indy 0 Posted September 2, 2007 Is it possible to get a set from Peugeot ? and if so how much would they cost... Or is it easier to replace the barrel ? P.S I have spare keys to all the door locks...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted September 2, 2007 it would be much cheaper to renew the barrel - i think they're about £40. Peugeot wanted way in excess of £100 to match a key to the barrel when i made similar enquiries a while ago; even local locksmiths wanted twice as much as the cost of a new barrel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted September 2, 2007 if the door locks are different to the ignition then has something has already been changed, drop neat auto's a line, they can sort you out with a full car set for £70 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted September 2, 2007 I have an ignition barrel with a key if you are interested. I was just about to chuck it on ebay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Josh 4 Posted September 2, 2007 You really need the key in the ignition barrel, to get it out of the steering column easily. Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason you need the key is that it will release the mechanism from the steering column casting more readily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 2, 2007 I had to drill a barrel out so I could fit a spare column that I had lost the key for. It took a lot of drilling out as they are extremely hard metal but as Henry says everything is possible... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took a lot of drilling out as they are extremely hard metal but as Henry says everything is possible... i had to do this when my gti keys were stolen. its not that hard to do if you have some sharp bits. gsf do a complete valeo kit, down to the glovbox lock for iirc 60 odd quid. the set comes with 2 keys and a tag if you need to order further keys in the future. hth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim.Badger 15 Posted September 3, 2007 I've got a ring of keys I've collected over the years that I can post to you. Pug didn't use many different key patterns so there is a reasonable chance that one will work. Pm me if your interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted September 3, 2007 Wouldn't that destroy the column though? Theres only about 2mm of these lugs, so if careful using the grinder at 90 degrees to the column, you can grind them down without doing much damage to the outer column at all, whilst retaining the front edge of the slot to retain the new barrel. These lugs are actually quite soft, so I'd imagine a dremel could be used to grind the lugs only, although I've not tried this. For my dremel I now have the cutting bit from a hand router as used in pvcu manufacture. This will happily munch through bolts, nuts etc. and is very useful If you know anybody in the pvcu fabricating industry, and have a compressor at home, borrow a air driven hand router - the barrel will be out in no time.
