Default Can not remove a ebay buying Key from ignition! Please Help!

Hello,

i buy this key from this ebay seller:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=250441875902

He cut it for me, very blowzy, i think with hand and file:

&
http://s11b.directupload.net/file/d/...so3kaz_jpg.htm

i was making this photos because the key insert was was very hard and to protest.

Now i insert the key in the ignition and can not remove it.
I called a key and lock service, this man try to remove the key without success. He says only Jaguar can make it.

I can move the key from Position 0 to startposition but the car doesnt start because the key is not programmed and i have the message "security failed".
To program this key i need to remove it....

Is it possible with a trick to programming this key?, then i can drive the car at least.



Sorry for my english.

I just suggested this for someone else with a Jag key, but it might be worth a try.

You can try rotating the wheel back and forth slowly until you find a sweet spot that will allow you to turn the key. Use one hand to turn the wheel and the other on the key, using gentle pressure. Finding it first time, may take a bit of time, but you'll know where it is the next time.

Good luck...I hope you're able to remove it.

Default Instructions that once saved me...

Instructions that once saved me... I read somewhere that if the battery in your key fob is dead for too long (not sure how long) you may have to reprogram after replacing the battery, and sure enough, i did have to. it was fairly easy and it worked like a charm.

There are also instructions in the FAQ section.

He asking me: "can i do it with power? it is possible that it breaks", i allowed.

I had luck, nothing breaks and the old key works fine as before....
