Hello guys,

Today my ignition lock failed and after 10 minutes I managed to turn it to position 1 and remove the lock, bits of metal fell to the ground as it was cracked.

Now I need to order a new lock. The problem is that this is my daily driver and I need the car!!! How can I start the car with no lock?

I've got a lock and key from a w201 and they are exacly the same, but it has this bit broken (see attached), what is this bit for and can I use the lock without it?

Thanks in advance.
