I posted some pics showing the parts of the Steering Colum Lock that were broken on the other Forum.

Where did you post the photos? That link goes to the Aus forum but I cannot see the pics as I am not a member. I don't see a gallery for you on this site....

I think my problem is a bit different. I wrote the initial post after first having the problem while driving into work this morning.

Later I tried fiddling with it on the way home from work, and discovered that if I:

- use my other ignition key, AND
- nudge it clockwise a bit once the car is running, AND
- first select defrost, then one of the AC settings, THEN
- my fan works in the two AC modes, BUT
- still not on the economy setting.

The switch feels completely normal in operation.
