1993 Civic ignition lock assembly

[MixWizard]

I have recently run into a problem where i am unable to turn my car on with the key as the keys appears to have been worn down in such a way that it no longer works in the barrel. I have a had a quick hunt around and as of yet cant find a barrel with key or the whole assembly. Could any shed some light on where id find such a thing? The only trouble with just replacing the barrel is that i cant get it to do the first click to allow me to pop it out? Any ideas?

you could call a honda dealer and ask if they could replace the ignition but it will cost alot of money.. or you could do what i used to do... hot wire the car.. jap cars are reali easy to do.. just an idea. lol
