recently the ignition barrel in my vn has completely seized, what can i do about it? Could i possibly swap the entire steering column and replace with a working one or will that just stuff things up more? Appreciate your input.

Just replace the ignition barrel.

I saw one on eBay for $16 I think, it comes with 2 keys.

I have a key snapped off in my VP commodore, hopefully I can remove it and tap the broken piece out.

As for changing it, I know that the VR's are relatively easy, but I havent had a good look into changing the VP's yet.....it looks like a different setup to the VR.....

Good luck, let us know how you go

yeah thanks for that, turns out the key was just really worn and so was the column, have got new key and am going to attempt to fix the barrel soon, cheers!

you just saved yourself $16!

yeah the keys wear out and make starting an absolute c&#t sometimes. poor keycutting will make things difficult too - make sure you test the keys you get cut on the doors too.
