I have the famous fault of the ignition switch causing the fan blower and heated rear window not to work. I know it's the switch, I have the bottom of the shroud off and when I move the wire it springs back into life.
Does anyone know how much will have to be changed if I get a garage to fix it. Just the barrel, barrel + door locks, or the whole dash or the car??
It would be useful to know before I let anyone near it

Should just be the ignition switch/electric barrel. I also believe it is possible to retain the original key lock barrel too. So not a major issue.
If you do have to change the key lock part then you can transfer the plip to the new key and keep the 'door' key with it on a standard ring.
Make sure you have the radio code, they will probably disconnect the battery but it is not essential as the loom has a major plug connector with it. Just check it is not the connector before you change it though. You never know, your luck my be with you!! R
