Ignition Wont Turn On 2005 Relay

[AntoLevo]

Hi, i bought a 2005 ciroen relay swb with 132 thousand kilometres and one owner from new. van is like new but i was messing around and turned the ignition anti clockwise as i was changing a parking light bulb and didnt want to leave the ignition on. I then want to move the van so i went to turn the key to start it and it wont turn, i cant get the stering lock off or even ignition lights before trying to start. i took the barrel out and it seems ok. Just wondering has anyone heard of a similar problem. i dont know if the key is coded etc and i dont want to get into new keys etc if theve to be coded etc.are the keys coded. Any help would be great

its a very common fault on the ignition barrel on the relays they just fail.  easiest way is to just replace the the lock but use your old barrel to save having to get keys.. the age dictates the price with the barrel that has the transponder ring being more epensive. what year is the van

i got it sorted, the van is 2005. i bought a whole ignition on ebay for 64 pounds and i put my own barrel in and the black cover with the wire and it worked. when i took the  old one appart it was a spring that broke in the part that turns it. worked out a cheap enough find anyway.
