Ignition barrel is worn then I would think and acc is shorting onto full ignition

Any one know my best way to do this :? Shall I just change the ignition and key or do I change all the locks :?

sometimes it is not the barrel but the soldered connections on the end of the barrel. mine all shorted and arced across ;)
my mate re-soldered them and all fine.
we have just broke a bb1 and have the full steering coleum with barrel and key if you need it but means you will have 2 keys ;) one for doors and one for ignition :(
