dc2 vtir- cant turn key for ignition. whats wrong?

[BC8]

hey guys
noticed this problem last night, insert the key and cannot turn but worked in the 2nd attempt.
drove the car today (insert key and turn on without any problems)
got home and wanted to test my cd player and it wont budge
i've left it for the time being
whats wrong? key is old? or does it need some silicone lubricant or something?
thanks

steering loCk?

Yep id say so, try turning the wheel both left and right as you try turn the key.

Sometimes mine does that on one side of the key (it's more worn) and when I turn the key over no problems.

oh yeah by the way
just before that had happened
i was testing my new clublock and then i heard a click of the steering wheel where it was unable to steer when off.
i guess thats the problem
i'll give it a shot ..
let you know whats the result

[BC8]

yeah it was the steering wheel lock
no problems now :D
thx dude's

also, i just bought a blank key from a honda dealer
im going to go to the locksmiths to cut a copy, however, this key wont start ignition of the car right ? only open doors etc?

ive got the 1995 dc2 vtir
the key i bought has the black rubber thing
i've got two set of keys with the car, one with rubber and one without .
so i guess it possible than? it should start the ignition :D

Yes 95 you don't have an immobiliser in the key, so you can just cut a key from anywhere...

It's 96 up that have the immobiliser in built in the key.
