Or you can replace the complete lock set. Easy enough to do, and not too costly from a scrappy, just remember to swap the transponders from the original keys.....

I bought a complete lock set includeing ignition barrel and 2 keys from Subaru for £44.00 includeing VAT.

someone off here tried to charge me £100 for a second hand set

my local subaru dealer said 108 for ignition barrel alone plus vat and its been on order for 5 weeks still waiting

well I,m shocked....... I have the old worn steering lock barrel from my 95 MY UK classic and a new steering lock barrel from my 93MY import and they are slightly different...... enough that they arent interchangable .

you can set the new (2nd hand) ignition barrel to take the old key,thats what i did.

basically you just move the pins until the original key moves it,takes about 2 - 3 hrs when not done before

A 97 JDM wouldn't have the transponder in the key, so lockset replacement should be a lot easier and cheaper. Search ebay, or people breaking on here.

wow thanks very much ill have a go at doing that or take it to a locksmith to do, that would solve all my problems cheers

The Rig

no problem,im sure a locksmith will do it for you,prob charge about £20 i would guess

its fairly easy to do,theres only about 7 pieces and you just take one out,refit it until the key works,once i did it when i had to do it again it took alot less time.It is surprising how pathetic the ignition barrel really is

good luck

Joey turbo is correct. JDM do not have transponders. Read the original post too quick. My bad.

Good luck rejigging the barrel to your key. I did it once before on an (old) orion fuel cap.

Wow 2009 thread. He said Subaru but can't see them stocking the part from 2009.

impartsb46 (eBay) had lock sets a few weeks ago for a bit less.

Yeah old Subaru stock though. Subaru dealers most likely won't have them in stock.

impartsb46 are IM UK who own the Subaru franchise. Their stock includes stuff from the early 90's to the current Levorg and you get a Subaru invoice.
