It sounds similar to something that happened to mine about 5 years ago - I couldn't get the key into the barrel. There was a white plastic piece blocking the way. The recovery man sprayed brake cleaner to get it to work, then a light spray oil. It has never happened since.

I've had mine from new, June 4th 2008. I hope to get another 4 years or so to get my money's worth. It cost me £16500 and I'd like to get the depreciation down to less the £1000 a year. Is it sad that I know exactly how much fuel I've put in so far - a bit over 10300 litres averaging 48.763 mpg. Interestingly the fuel economy has got better as it's got older, once it passed 90k miles it's been averaging over 50mpg.
