Hi there,

Yes it is a Dealer only part. Bring your vehicle ownership and ID to order the new tumbler, which will come complete with new key identical to your existing set.

I suggest you continue to try to get the key to turn to pos 1, to enable the tool to fit in and release the tumbler.

After trying "everything" to get the key to turn in my 92 124, I got a thin piece of hard wire and slightly bent the end which I inserted into the ignition lock and applied pressure on the tumblers as I dragged the wire out several times on the upper and lower inner edge of the tumbler. This worked for me but was nothing short of a miracle....really.

If worst comes to worst I think I would replace the lock assembly rather than drill. Alternatively perhaps the lock face will pop off or could there be something in the lock keeping the key from going in all the way????

Good luck buddy,
Acky
