NOTE THE AIR BAG WARNING!!!

21 Steering lock/ignition switch
- removal and refitting 3
Warning: Before attempting
removal of the ignition switch,
read carefully the precautions
listed in Chapter 12,
appertaining to vehicles equipped with
airbags (SRS).
Note: The steering lock/ignition switch is
secured by two shear-head bolts. Although new
bolts are supplied with replacement steering
lock assemblies, always ensure that the bolts
themselves are available before beginning work.
Removal
1 Remove the steering column.
2 Securely clamp the column assembly in a
vice equipped with soft jaws, taking great
care not to overtighten the vice and distort the
steering column.
3 Centre-punch the two steering lock shear
bolts then drill off the heads of the bolts. Note
that new shear bolts must be obtained for
refitting.
4 Withdraw the steering lock/ignition switch,
then unscrew the remains of the shear bolts
by using a self-locking wrench or similar on
the exposed ends.
Refitting
5 On refitting, carefully align the assembly on
the steering column, lightly tighten the bolts and
check that the steering lock works smoothly.
6 Tighten the shear bolts evenly until their
heads shear off.
7 Refit the steering column.

A locksmith should be able to tease out the broken bit.

But,

******[as ts_aly2000, post 13 said ----> 'personally I think I'd wander down to the local boy racers hangout and ask one of them if they fancy 'making £20'].******

P'raps, tho. u should go ;
'Hi lad's, who's my man for a broken key job'?

Aye, neighbours. Who'd have em?
Best of luck.
