your barrel is sticking. when your key is half out of the barrel giggle the barrel a little bit and it will release the pins and you wont get that message anymore.

Hi,

I have the same ignition key in message and it stops remote central locking working.

Do I just spray that stuff into the hole where the key goes?

Cheers.

It's not tumblers sticking it's the small grey gate on the lock that sticks in the up position. A blow with an airline sorts it 9 times out of 10.

Yes, followed by pushing the key in and out rapidly a few times.
