Hi guys,
Bit of a weird one - without any prior warning or indication, the steering lock on my 2007 1.6 FSi on Saturday suddenly stopped working. I'd opened the car up in the morning (current UK heatwave) and when I went to lock her up in the PM I noticed I couldn't turn the key - to the point I needed to get the electric windows to work. There was a little bit of key play.
The steering lock appears to have completely gone - as in I don't have one anymore

I can mess about with the steering wheel, keys in/out, it doesn't ever lock up like it did previously.
I can eventually turn the key, takes a bit of fiddling and I'm frightened that the key will eventually get damaged... thoughts? What do I need to get, source etc. Can I still keep the same keys or get them switched over?
This is a new one on me.
Thanks!
