Ignition Key Gets Stuck

[bobcat]

hello

I have an R reg Carina and the ignition key turns so much but keeps gettinng stuck at the acc position. By moving it back and forwards it can get past it is as if something keeps getting stuck

The toyota dealer said this is a common problem on the avensis and that a switch on the end of the barrel for the immobiliser goes and needs replacing

Any body got ideas as a new barrel and immobliser costs over £300!
