Hello there chums - I have a 95 XM 2.5td and I need an ignition barrel/lock - I plan to take out the pins so a jammed one, one without a key or one with a broken lock will do just fine as long as it's complete. Please contact me if you have one by either posting here or email on
gerald@captainsorrow.com
Thank you kindly.

You need to confirm the barrel type if you intend to swap the electrical part over.
Your car was supplied with a Simplex barrel but many replacement barrels are the better quality Valeo ones.
I can find a Simplex barrel (no wiring) with all the tumblers removed (any key works it).
I have stripped a few to get stocks of tumblers for re-keying other locks.
Not yet found my way into the second set of tumblers on the Valeo ignition switches.
