Cant get the ignition to switch on with the key been playing up for a while. Knackered barrel or worn key? Key doesnt manually lock car door either.. Main dealer ellesmere port 2 weeks to just look to see what problem is and the couple more weeks to order and fix(but cant drive it there).. Local auto locksmith says cant fix it as cant get barrel, Have ordered a replacement key cut to code to see if its a worn key. failing that mobile mechanic ?? -. Can ignition lock assemblies be got from motor factors? . suggestions please? Honda 2005 crv automatic..

Do you have a spare key? (I guess not). Does the key actually turn?
If the key turns in the ignition but nothing happens, it could be an immobiliser problem.
If the key won't turn in the door, it could be due to lack of use and perhaps lubricating the door lock might help.
If the key won't turn in either of them, then it's the key at least. And that's just the physical part. They have electronics.
Is the battery in a good state of charge.
Does your insurance cover you for locks? This could be on your car insurance or on a breakdown cover policy.
Re-mapping of keys to locks and ECU's can be expensive..

Being an automatic, I guess you remembered to put it in P or N (and had the brake pedal depressed as some cars do).

Put your VIN in the Honda recall checker, there have been more than one recall for Honda ignition switches.

If the key has been playing up for a while, it's likely that the problem is with the key or the ignition barrel. A worn key can cause problems with starting the car, and a damaged or worn ignition barrel can make it difficult to insert the key properly.

If you have already ordered a replacement key cut to code, this is a good first step to see if the problem is with the key. If the new key does not solve the problem, then it's likely that the issue is with the ignition barrel.

Mobile mechanics are often equipped to diagnose and repair problems with car locks and ignitions, so they may be a good option if you cannot get to a main dealer. Another option would be to check with a local auto locksmith, as they may be able to repair or replace the ignition barrel.

It is possible to purchase ignition lock assemblies from motor factors, however, it's important to make sure that you get the correct part for your specific make and model of car. The Honda 2005 CR-V has a specific ignition lock assembly that may not be interchangeable with other vehicles.

If you're not comfortable attempting the repair yourself, I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional mechanic or auto locksmith.
