Help with ignition issue please

I have a problem with my 08 discovery, sometimes i cannot remove key other times can remove but engine stays running. Transmission fault come on at times other times it's a park brake fault. Anyone any ideas please. At times it can take 10 mins of fiddling with the key to turn it off. I have already sprayed and cleaned the ignition. ????

1st step, different key if that doesn't work new barrel I'd say. But I'm no expert.

Thanks for the reply, just sorted it this evening. Problem previously posted with the rear fogs. I had given up myself so sent it to a garage to get it sorted. Turns out one of the connections he had made came loose, it was shoddy enough work anyway. I pulled the wires from the fuse box and hey presto no more ignition issues.

I presume it was giving a fault on the canbus system. Resolved now so back to the original problem.

At least you found it.

I'm beginning to wonder if the disco was designed as a technicians nightmare scenario test rather than a car. Big Cry
