Hi stan yeh ive been through all those and im at the stage where i have the brand new ignition part and barrel so on the table with the key in and still wont turn??
Does it have to be connected up too let the key turn
I have had it all connected up and it doesnt turn at all and ite full ignition barrel and the black module is all brand new still carnt turn the key,,
The barrel is a separate part which slotted in,,have i installed it incorrectly?
Can you install it incorrectly
Just so many questions i need answering to get the car started
Regards

Has the barrel been built for your key ?

Or is it a generic one? Ian

The barrel has been ordered from bmw Germany from the chassis number of my car the black part with the locking solenoid on has been ordered from land rover,
When the barrel was seperate i could turn the key no problems,and the black part i could turn from
Position 0,II,III,,start no issues as soon as i put it together it wont turn at all,does this have to be electrically powered too turn now the two parts are together?
And how do you remove the barrel from the black plastic part as i dont want too destroy the new parts?

I've not had one to pieces, sounds like something's not HP when they went together. Perhaps CTC might have more experience ? Ian

Whos ctc?

Hi

If my Range has a flatish Battery my ign key wont turn ,so i assume that your Barrell has to be powered up for it to turn.

Hope that helps.


Cheers Piers

forum sponsor cam-tec-Craig is ctc.

Has anyone got his email or contact address please?
I have tried the battery again and its showing 12.7 volts
But even if you plug all the new parts together it still wont let you turn the key
Its as though no signal is going to the solenoid to let you turn the key,
If you use the rear of the old ignition and the new barrel and black part together with the immobilizer ring around it i can get all ignition lights on steering wheel releases
Turn key too final position car wont start at all,,
Seriously pain in the arse now stan been at this 3weeks now and still no further

i dont know enough about this to help much sorry ,
