Now I’m confused?
Car came with two keys
One key starts the car and work on drives door.
And the 2nd key also starts the car and passenger door, boot. Glove box.
Does this mean the 2nd is the original key

There is a valet and master key. Master opens everything and valet from memory only does the ignition and drivers door.

It will be interesting to read whether a new key works in an old/worn switch. Especially since they are not cheap. Fingers crossed

well i spoke to two locksmith and both think it could be the ignition switch.
 
so last night i was on it and trying to take the ignition barrel and the switch. 
the car look like a mess by taking so many dash parts out.
now im trying to find  a way to take the security snap bolts so i can free the barrel and remove it.
any help will be great.

I just had a look at my switch cause the instrument cluster is out of the car and there looks like a lot of steps to get it out. Did you get a fresh key cut ?  It's gamble ... are the locksmiths suggesting you replace tumbler and keys or maybe getting into it can fix it ?

i didn't get a fresh key as i didn't know what one is the original lock as i have tow different keys.
i wanted to do some clean up on my dash and replace some screws so i thought ill just have a look at removing the barrel and the switch and take it to locksmiths and see what they can do.
i did get new cut based on my old one but didn't work. 
i need to find the best way to remove the two bolts from the photo and that should free the barrel.
also im going to replace some dash lights while i have everything out and but some plastic that where broken, the previous owner really didn't care and just used bigger or smaller screws even used glue  so stupid

Yes a copy of a worn key was wishful thinking, at least a cheap option.
 
As for dash lights, funny you should mention. last night my son compared 2 sets of LEDs from SuperbrightLEDs in the US into the 4 main lights that illuminate speedo and tacho. The tests took a minute or 2 each and both types were pretty good but we preferred 194-W-6V for no hotspotting, nor too bright, nice. Cheap and arrived in under 2 weeks.
Can recommend highly if you have the cluster out.

Yes for sure while I have everything out I’m going to tidy the dash lights screws and broken parts.
Just want to fix the dam ignition
