2002 Boxster Key ignition problem

[andyg]

Thanks for all the replies
I noticed if i jiggle the key i then can get the key to work properly
The remote works fine when locking
Only trouble is when i drive off and turn the car off the problem starts again
If the key goes in smoothly when you start th car starter motor r uns on
You have to move the key back to prevent this
Steering lock still not working.
I will replace the switch
Someone felt behind the ignition and said the switch was very loose
Still feel it might be the barrel
What does the replacement of the barrel entail?
Can a locksmith do this?

Regards
Andy
