My 84 has left me setting there twisting the key a few times already for 5-10mins, so I suppose I should fix it now before it gets bad. I wouldn't say mine feels loose at all, but it just acts like I stuck the wrong key in. Moving the steering wheel doesn't help at all either. When I bought the car I had a copy of the original which was valet. So I went to the mercedes dealership and got a new one cut for my VIN. So my question to whomever will bless me with an answer is, do you think I have a bad tumbler or is it simply the keying on the tumbler just doesn't match the new key anymore?

Maybe I should take my tumbler into a locksmith and get it rekeyed? No other locks on the car give me a problem, after all the ignition would be the only trully worn lock.

Thanks,
Jeff M.
