Why can't I put the key in the ignition lock?
Years

Answer

If you can't put the key in the ignition, the first thing to do is to try with the spare key: maybe the one you usually use is worn out. If this doesn't work, then it's a problem with the ignition, which is dirty and clogged. Try using a lubricant like WD-40.
