Ford Fiesta Dead Key

[shagpuss]

I bought a 1995 N ford Fiesta Sapphire 2nd hand.

It came with a red "master" and a black "slave�. After a few weeks the black key started to play up and would only turn ignition on after repeated attempts and eventually died and will now only open the doors and boot.

This system is supposed to be maitenance free, any ideas what would cause this?

Thanks

my sister had the same problem just last week. she got the RAC out and they told her that the barrel inside the ignition had worn out and needed replacing. she got it fixed and now its fine.
