Hello Guys,
When i turn my engine off and take the keys out of the ignition it beeps 3 times and says on the dash key in ignition, does anyone know what this means? or has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?

Thanks

Luke :)
 
Yeah gate is stuck open in locking barrel. Graphite lock lube after blowing out with an air line.
 
I know youve probably fixed your problem but just to add for future searchers i somtimes get the same message and its the lock barrel not clicking back out on mine! seems its slightly out of alinment and it catches the green coller
I just push the gray part of the lock with my finger give it a little wiggle and it pops out
I would fix it but like i said it only does it once a blue moon
Just have to watch it though cos my radio stays on for about 3seconds after the key is removed so if im in a rush and i dont hear the beep as im walking away press the remote, it wont lock

As long as you haven't done something stupid like sprayed WD40 down the barrel, you're in luck. It takes longer to find a shop that sells graphite powder than it does to fix the problem.

No never done nowt with it
 
You can make your own graphite powder by filing a pencil lead onto a piece of paper. Then fold the paper and pour/blow it into the sticking lock and work it in with the key.
