Left Back on the Bench

Got into the car this morning to go to work.Pulled the car outside the drive,stopped it but when i pulled the key out the radio stayed on.Key wouldnt turn either way then and wont start.Got my mate who's a mechanic to have a look and he said ill need a new ignition barrel and key.My car wont lock,unlock or my boot wont open either using the key.If i get a new barrel and key can i program the new key to lock and unlock the car?any help much appreciatted

Not opening doors/boot? I'd change the battery in the key.

Have you a second key with buttons on it?

Get a proper key fob identical to old one.

When new key is cut to match new barrel, put electronic thing from an old one to a new one.

There are some places where you can ask to modify your new barrel to match an old key - definately cheaper than changing barrels allround.

No. You can get a second hand one instead, in working condition of course.

====================

It's a guess only - cannot properly assess without seeing it.
