Having problems lately when turning the key, so I pulled out the key with lockbarrel (turn on ignition, and insert pin in hole at the front of ignition).  Cleaned the barrel and tumblers with solvent, and re-greased.  Problem persists, so I think its just 10years of wear on the mechanism no showing.  Can get new key and lockbarrel from Motorworx in UK for about R400.  Have anyone replaced this part before, and will I need to replace the steering lock as well?  (Ignition and steering lock worked fine when I turned it with a screwdriver.)
