Anything similar happened to any other Vit owners?
Sometimes when I goto put the key in the column and goto turn her over, te column locks up and takes a few good hits to get it to unlock? :S
What could it be?

Little bit, nothing severe. I've checked the engine immobiliser switch in the dash and makes no difference? Is it possible just to buy a new column and key and install it? |

Stekky - yeah mate tried it and failed. Going to try and pick one up off Mugwai.  Otherwise there's one at a local wreckers for $88.
Christover - I put some Singer oil in it, hasn't made a diference. :/ |

Regarding lube sprays, a locksmith recommended Inox to me a while back, apparently doesn't grab the dust like some of the sprays... |

Just bought a steering column, barrel, key and 3 door handles of Mugwui. Hopefully that sorts it !

Thats good news, now I can stop thinking how to wrap and post my spare one. I get to keep it. Mines from a later model Vit, with an adjustable column.. Probably go into mine one day. |

Rats, didn't know you had a spare. haha Wouldn't have minded the adjustable option.. Ah well. 
You wouldn't happen to have a complete replacement sleeve and bush kit for a 3" Cal lift kit laying around would you?... :L |
