Would it not be same size as the hole it came out of?
OoopsHi,
Does anyone know spec or size of spring that goes inside of ignition barrel please?
Mine decided ping away when I removed it! Doh.
It's the spring that allows the key to return from ignition 3 to 2.
Thanks all.
Sorry mate don't know so can't help

No worries my own stupidity for losing it. Will buy a spring selectionOoops

Dunno if this is any help, but when the same thing happened to me I took the room apart to find it, and didn't.
So I carried on, fixed the rest of the barrel and put it all back together.
Then put it back in the car, in my case a Disco 2, and it all worked exactly like it did before.
Came to the conclusion that there never was a spring, but then I never did see one.
Best of luck!
Oops just reread your initial post and realised I had got the wrong end of the stick.
I was referring to the "spring" that locks the ball into the detent so it doesn't slip out of position 2 i.e. ignition.
You must have REALLY stripped the barrel down to get beyond the part where you can start the car with a screwdriver.
Best of luck mate!

I was given a 12 bore shotgun and I decided to strip it down completely to reblue it. As I reassembled it the firing pin spring sprungDunno if this is any help, but when the same thing happened to me I took the room apart to find it, and didn't.

I went through the garage with a fine tooth comb until there was only two buckets unchecked,one was full of nuts bolts and screws,the other had trowels and floats in it.luckly this was the one I checked first because it was lying in the bottom of it.Lady luck was with me that day.

EAS diaphragm spring had me. Fairly certain the one I found was the one that came out.
