No, not yet. I still search for it though from time to time. I am hoping that the evap in my 140 lasts as long as the one I had in the 124. If I find it, I will let everyone know.

Cheers,
Steve

I successfully r&r'd the ignition switch assembly today. All in all it took about 3 hrs from start dissassembly until wrapped up. Not difficult but if anyone else is attempting this procedure on the W140, a thought a couple of procedure changes to what is said in WIS would be helpful.

1) On reassembly, trying to connect the parking selector cable with the switch in place was a pain. Couldn't get it to mesh due to the confining space. I found you can connect the parking cable assembly to the ignition switch module below the dash area and then insert the ignition assembly onto the steering wheel lock after.

2) Really double check that the key is in the #1 postion before seperating anything. G*d help you if it isn't.

3) I found I didn't have to disconnect/remove the original steering lock assemble. All I had to replace was the ignition switch, tumbler and locking steel cap (over the tumbler). You don't need to replace the steel cap, just break up the original switch assembly and reuse.

Total cost was about $400 CAD.

This thread is old, but the problem persists. One post talked about a video to show how to take the W140 'ignition' tumbler out... that would be invaluable to me right now!!! the 93 300SD was having problems turning the key, then it solidly refused to turn. I parked it in my yard, and after some time was able to turn it to position 1. There it stays with the battery disconnected until i can get a new tumbler in. If i turn it off now, i fear it would never turn again - that happend to my W123.
Any help would be most appreciated, the video would be awsome.

And, yes, this incredable car is a taxi and all the passengers love it, and miss it now it is off the road.

This is really old now,i have r&r my 92 twice so i now know how its done.
