Hi, as I can't post in the spares section yet I wonder if this could be placed there please.
Just recently I have been finding the key won't turn in the barrel, have given it a spray but that hasn't eased the problem. There may be a quick fix but I don't know it so I would like to buy if anyone has the part.
The car is P reg, 2.5 Auto, unsure if that makes a difference.
Are they simple to change?

Thanks in advance

If I can source a facelift set of 2 keys, barrel, electric boot opener etc (hint, hint) then my mate will probably be happy to part with his set currently in the car. Only one key, though.

Cheers BDG, I will keep checking by for updates

appreciated.

Sounds ok to me tho I only need the ignitions stuff, or am I wrong here?  Do I need to replace the lot because its electronic?
Sorry for being a lemon but I just drive the car, won't be getting rid of it til it dies so not bothered about having put up with using different keys. Although I didn't think the boot had a lock, does the central locking not deal with that?

Questions questions, sorry. I do appreciate the help tho, in fact when the car dies I will offer it to anyone who can collect, seems like so many people need bits and peices for their Omegas.

Cheers for the heads up brikhead,  (though am I right in saying that an estate pushlock can't be put into a saloons bootlid plus estate omegas dont have electric opening bums, do they?)

I've got a saloon set with 2 keys

Well that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for,  how would I go about getting them from you, how much are you wanting for them?
Are they easy to change or is it a garage job, special tools etc?

Moderately easy, I'll do you a list of each and how to do them, I may even write them up on here I'll drop you a PM

No, no need to replace the lot if your not bothered by having more than one key.
My facelift (later generation) estate has a key hole on the boot, also my pre facelift (earlier generation) saloon had one too.
I'm guessing facelift saloons don't have keyholes!!

Nah Mate, no button on the dash to open the boot in this estate... only get two buttons on the fob too...
 

...I may even write them up on here

That's an idea, perhaps I should do one... "How To dismantle an Omega into pieces small enough to fit into the boot of a Vectra".

Did you find a door handle yet? Also, has your Mate still got those Vectra CDX alloys knocking about?

No not yet mate. I've got a couple of sets of wheels here, what do you want them for (car I mean, I know what you want them for )?

Cheers Brikhead, there is no keyhole in the drivers door, never noticed one in the bootlid but either way it all works via the fob on the keyring(2 buttons), in fact the only problem door is the front nearside, intermittently doesn't unlock with the fob thing.
I'm assuming I can replace the ignition barrel (or someone can) and keep the fob I already have in order to lock and unlock the car. Or maybe the key and the button thing have to be married up in some way, does the key have some built in device?
Does my head in all this because in an ideal world I would just stick it in the garage and get them to sort it, these days I don't have the money to do that so I have to have a go at DIY, not my forte, although I will always have a go if I can.

cheers

Forgot to say I think I am sorted with the goods via wellung, thanks again for the help.
