Anybody had ignition barrel problems with starting

[spudboy6]

I have an issue and I wonder if anyone else has Hadyn problem ?

You know when you get in the car . Turn to key to start it the car goes to turn over and stops and doesn't start all the ignition lights dim , then you wiggle the key and then it fires up , so something in
The barrel is faulty ?

Many thanks guys

Assuming you have the same issue as I had then yes. Wiggling keys is not ideal that's for sure.  

It's just a pain to do, but even I, MK3 moderator and infamous car-f**k*r-upper managed to do it by myself.
