I've no idea

But there's a guy on here who can cut keys and make new ignition barrels from just the number on your original key

Give him a PM

Name on here is hypno211
Or tom

Does a good job I had him cut a new key works fine
Had been back and forwards to local key cutters trying to get there's to work never did.

the workshop manual for the 2.5TD says you have to remove the whole key cylinder set by making a groove in the head of the shear bolt with a chisel and then unscrew the bolt to remove the key cylinder. To replace you need a new shear bolt.

yes there are two shear bolts so its looking like the whole unit has to be changed, thanks for your replies, regards, kirk
