FORD FIESTA TROUBLE

My son bought his first car in December. Unfortunately we have had nothing but problems ever since. Does anyone know how to remove the ignition barrel from a 2008 Ford Fiesta.

Already tried that. Mechanics don’t seem to have a clue, and that’s Fords own mechanics….

When the key is turned the engine starts but when you take your hand off the key the engine cuts out

I find it very unusual that a mechanic in general, not even a Ford mechanic, couldn't swap the ignition barrel on a 14 year old Fiesta.
Did you google it? I did, and you'd be better off bringing it to a mechanic as it looks to be a bit faffy.

It could be more that they don't want to do it
