I have a small citroen saxo car. The ignition key is stuck in the ignition barrel. The only way I could stop the engine was to stall it then disconnect the battery. Do I have to purchase and have fitted a new barrel?

yes you will have to purchase a new barrell and key .. also the key is chipped (coded with a microchip) to the cars ECM (onboard computer) so the new key's will have to be linked to the cars ECM .. this can only be done via computer linked to the car ..
