my ignition tumbler was acting up last week by not letting me turn the key. today i got in my car and the key wont even go in the ignition!!!
the car needs to be moved asap. i want to drill it out. dose anyone know how to do this? a step by step guide would be much appreciated. thanks.

ok im really desperate. im gonna get towed if i dont hurry and i might lose the car for good due to lack of funds. i wanna be able to start my car with a screwdriver. it dosent matter how bad i mess the system up as long as i can get it home(i have a parts car at home ready to be used) basically if i can get the steering wheel free i can get it home. what if i cut the bar running from the ignition switch to the steering wheel shaft? will that free it? help is very appreciated

Wonder what kind of car it is?

sure it's not the stearingwheel lock ?
Try to turn on the stearing a bit, i had same problem once and it took me a few min to figure out i had to turn the stearingwheel abit to get key in

Cutting disc, cut through the ignition/wheel lock stem. Worked like a charm for the previous owner of my car. Not to hard to replace later either. Screw driver might do the trick as well.
