Just been out init went to go home and the key wont turn in the barrel tried both keys and its solid the barrel doesnt seam worn its been fine up untill now any idears anyone please


thanks lee
 
Sounds silly, but give the wheel a wiggle while trying, could be the steering lock. Mine was a real bitch on my last car if I pulled the key out and the wheel was at a particular angle.
 
Done that its all free that its as if there is a alarm activated lock on it i left the windows down u see but i never put the alarm on just left it for about half hour
 
Persevere, ! ours is just the same, it seems to be related to how far in the key is, talking fractions of a mm., obviously not right but if I take the key in and out many times it suddenly turns with no abnormal pressure or stickiness... havent investigated as am struggling with diesel in oil, loads of new seals 3 times, not twisted, tested cylinder head inc wamred up firstOK so why ???! no fun :(

Td5's have been known to have a crack in the cylinder head in the fuel galleries whicj allows fuel to seem into the engine oil. not saying that is the case with yours, but its a fault i've read about a few times on here
