is it my ignition tumbler or steering lock mech?
after searching, i see there are a lot of issues with keys not turning..well add me me to the list! and now about a week after the key for my 81 240D started to intermittently not turn, now my 77 240D is doing it too.. ;(
I also am reading that replacement is far easier if the key still works, rather than the drill it out technique once its stuck.. so im gonna bite the bullet and change em.. but, im a little confused after reading though, and im not sure if i need to replace the ignition/key tumbler or if it is the steering lock mechanism that needs to be changed... I guess I dont really know what the difference between them is, or what they do, or how to test... all i know is from time to time the key wont turn,, and i have to mess with it for sometime twisting and pounding and jiggling to get it to catch/engage and turn. any suggestions as to narrow the problem down?
