Vauxhall vans we cover
Send the registration and we'll check exactly which ignition your van carries before saying anything definite.
About Vauxhall ignitions
Vauxhall's van line-up ranges from car-based models such as the Astravan and Corsavan to the larger Vivaro and Movano. Different generations sit on different platforms, which has a direct bearing on the ignition fitted.
Whether it's a Vivaro barrel that's sticking, a loose-feeling Corsavan ignition, or a key snapped off in a Combo, tell us the registration and symptoms and we'll confirm how to proceed.
Ignition options for Vauxhall 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.

Vauxhall ignition questions
My Vivaro key is stiff — should I just keep turning it harder?
No — forcing a stiff ignition risks snapping the key or doing further damage to the barrel. Stop and get it checked instead.
Do you still deal with older Astravans and Corsavans?
Yes, both are on our list. Send over the registration and year so we can confirm what fits your particular van.
