I seem to be having some of the same issues on my 300D. On occasion, if the steering wheel is in the locked position, I have to "work" with it to get the key to turn. The "feel" of the key turning seems to be ok - especially after putting some of that powered graphite in there. I personally don't really feel the need for the steering wheel "lock" function. Has anyone on here successfully defeated this function? Is so, what needs to be removed/modified to do it.
thanks,
