Cant Start My Is200

[lexuspaddy]

Has anybody got a solution to my problem?

The key won't turn in the ignition even though the flashing orange light has gone out. The Battery in the key is good as the remote locking functions all work OK.

Any ideas to get me back on the road?

you may need a new barrel, aparently there £80 and can be cut for your old keys so no other keys need replacing. what position is the barrel in, ACC lock ect ect.....?

Sounds daft, but your steering lock can prevent you turning the key. Just try to turn the steering in the opposite direction its resisting, if you get me? Then try and turn the key.

suspect the barrel is broken and it is stuck in the ACC position....... happened to me before

Thanks for the prompt reply folks,

It is definatly not the steering lock so I think the problem is the barrel.

Time to change it I think.
