    Ignition barrel failure

    No doubt this has been said before, but if your ignition barrel starts behaving poorly, get it changed immediately. In my W126 I have hesitated and fiddled the key for no more than a very few start-up sessions, but the barrel has now well and truly failed, and the car is stuck outside the garage...

    Oil now lower than $100 a barrel

    That's at least a 30% drop since July. Without wanting to sound like a Daily Express headline, when are we going to see the benefit of this at the pumps? At its peak, a garage near me was selling Diesel at £1.34 per litre, and is now selling it for £1.27 per litre (very different from a 30%...

    Wobbly DAS thing - also known as ignition barrel

    Apologies for the cryptic title. My facelift 202 has the infra-red key which plugs into the 'ignition' barrel/switch. However the chrome trim around the key switch fell off the other day. As a result the barrel assembly flopped about under the dash. I managed to get it back together after partly...

    Ignition barrel playing up...

    Hi, my 1997 E320 has recently developed a (seemingly) minor problem in that it doesn't start first time sometimes. The key turns in the barrel but there is no ignition or a slight 'connection' - sounds like the starter turns for about 1/4 of a turn. Pulling the key fob out then re-inserting...
