Ignition switch/barrel starting problem
I have a problem on my T3 ignition switch/barrel in that I have to turn the key around to its absolute limit (with force) to get it to turn the starter over (if I'm lucky). I put a new switch in yesterday but the problem is still there, so I guess its something to do with the rotational travel on the barrel being restricted somehow, as I've taken the switch off & it works the starter fine if I turn the switch with a screwdriver. I'm sure the barrel & key are only a few years old & the key looks straight & unworn. Has anybody come across this before that could shed some light on the problem?
