Is this a ignition switch/tumbler issue, a steering column lock issue, or both? I am tempted to replace both, as they are over 29 years old!
Any gouge on which part numbers to order? (Yes Diesel911, I still have your source....would you still recommend?)

This is the part Number 1264620730 (this is what fit My 84 300D Federal) it comes as an assembly with a new Ignition Switch, Vacuum Shutoff Switch and of course the Steering Colum Lock.
I got Mine from an online genuine Mercedes Parts Dealer and it is made by
Neiman and made in France.
Neiman/Valeo are the same company and aftermarket part sellers sell them.
Be sure to read the Text of the Ad as Myele sells just the bare Steering Colum Lock with no new Ignition switch or Vacuum Switch on it.
