Citroën vans we cover
Send the registration and we'll check exactly which ignition your van carries before saying anything definite.
About Citroën ignitions
The Berlingo and Dispatch cover Citroën's small and mid-size range, while the Relay handles the larger panel vans and conversions. Each has been through multiple generations with its own ignition arrangements.
Let us know whether the key goes in, whether it turns, and whether the dashboard lights up. Combined with the registration, that tells us whether we're looking at the barrel, the switch or the electronic side.
Ignition options for Citroën vans
- Mechanical ignition barrel repair or replacement — Suited to vans with a traditional turn-key ignition where the barrel has become worn, sticky, seized or physically damaged.
- Electrical ignition switch replacement — Covers the switch sitting behind the barrel, which can fail independently so the key turns but the electrics don't react properly.
- Electronic ignition (EIS) work — Applies to vans running an electronic ignition unit instead of a plain mechanical barrel, including certain push-button setups.
- Broken key extraction from the ignition — Getting a snapped blade safely out of the ignition first, without further damage, ahead of cutting a replacement key.
Hanging on to your existing key is often possible, depending on the van and what's failed. If a fresh key or reprogramming turns out to be necessary, you'll hear it from us first.

Citroën ignition questions
My Berlingo's dashboard stays dark when I turn the key — is that the switch?
It might be, but battery and wiring faults can look much the same. We check properly before replacing anything.
Do you deal with the Citroën Nemo?
Yes. The Nemo shares a lot with the Fiat Fiorino and Peugeot Bipper, and we confirm the exact van using its registration.
