Ignition barrel Problem

Recommended Posts

My Girlfriend (Kimbo on the Forum) was driving the C home earlier and said she could smell a slight burning smell. Having then travelled a bit further she noticed smoke coming from around the ignition Barrel area. She then did the sensible thing and pulled over, and switched the car off.

 

I came and looked at it later on and took the steering column cover off and exposed the block connector on the back of the barrel

the black and yellow wire closest to the camera had melted the insulation away and exposed the bare wire as can be seen in the next picture.

I realise this is obviously where the problem is but what can i do to stop it? I dont want the car going up in flames with my girlfriend inside it. I'm not sure if its relevant but i also noticed that one of the connections had been 'removed' and replaced with a spade connector as can be seen below.
