if its your keys that buggered or doing some dodgie stuff either way another way to start engine without key is to remove couling around steering wheel and take off the black plastic round big behind the ignition barel then stick a flathead of suitable size inside it and push in whilst turning as you would the key...

i did this before on my old corsa when it was broken into and the basrads fooked barrel up but i had to snap and replace the steering wheel lock as well as replacing outter locks and barrel :@
