The ignition in my '88 300E started to get very difficult to use a couple of years ago. My mechanic convinced me to have it replaced immediately, saying that if it failed and locked up, he would need to "break the steering column" to remove the ignition unit. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I hope that helps...
