ignition lock worn

Forum: 

Hi guys
Having problem with 1998 Fourtrak. I have two keys with the built in immobilizer,but not the master key. Both are well used.Tried to start vehicle this morning, had difficulty turning ignition on with either key,now neither key will turn at all,looks like lock mechanism is worn. I have a key which was cut as a spare without the immobilizer part on,this key turns in the lock o.k and with the immobilizer key taped to it works. Does anybody know if the immobilizer circuit can be bypassed on the lock,to allow the cut key to work without the taped on key,as i would imagine a replacement lock + keys would cost an arm and a leg.
Regards

Sorted problem out.Removed panel from under steering wheel,fastened worn immobilizer key to ignition barrel with cable ties,replaced panel,sorted,no immobilizer but at least it starts with the spare £5 key.
