Harrys garage

I'm sure most of you on here will have had a look at Harry and his great car collection via Youtube. Well his latest episode where he talks about his Jaguar project 7 will be of interest, not least of all because of an amazing looking Elite that appears during a show . Well worth a look

Ignition key

/so my key is feeling a bit stiff in the barrel, looked on line and advise goes from WD40, electrical cleaner , Silicon spry, Dry Lube. Can anyone tell me the best thing. On a normal lock I would use WD40 silicone spray, works a treat but I'm thinking this might be different


Cheers
