To be honest, at this point in their lives, for the $150 some odd dollars that a the dealer charges for a new cylinder and key, and the 20mintes or so it takes to replace it, I think the best choice is that everyone just replaces theirs....
The one in my old 300TE seemed ok, it needed a jiggle every so often to turn the key though. I decided that it was probably a good idea to replace it. SO ordered a new one, took out the old one, and it fell apart. Literally fell into pieces when I took it out. Dodged a bullet there.... Its just not worth the inconvenience if it sizes up of having to grind and cut the old one out.... Just my 2 cents...
