I have started having trouble turning the ignition key. I have to giggle the key to make it start. Shoul I put a litte WD40 in the ignition hole?

IT sounds like the tumbler is sticking. THey make a specific lubericant for key cylenders. You may want to try that. WD 40 would work, but I don't like using it because it doesn't evaporate and if it runs into an electrical component, it could cause a short.

LEt me know if you have other questions.
