1984 190 2.3 Purchase
I am in the process of acquiring a 1984 190 2.3 with a 5-speed. It has some rust, yet is very solid. I have two items to repair and I am seeking wisdom for these repairs.
The first repair is my biggest concern. The key will not turn in the ignition unit, thus the steering wheel can not be unlock to turn the wheels. The keys work fine on the truck and doors. Since the key must be turned to remove the tumbler I am uncertain how to get this unit removed. Any thoughts? The second repair is the front springs. One is broke and the other is cracked. Has anyone ever replaced theses or should I take it to a shop for this repair? |

The front springs are really easy to replace; you don't even have to remove the strut assy, just get the car high enough. |

When ours in 300E failed out in the boondocks I called 800.for.merc
The procedure was to keep trying, i.e. put a lot of muscle into trying to turn the key. It worked. Clearly you don't want to have to do this very many times |

This one feels as though the wheel lock is jammed. |
