Hi all,
Just joined this forum (first post- won't be the last). I have a '95 E300D (I know wrong forum), but this isn't about me. It's one of my dad's cars that's having the problem. He bought an '84 300 SD within the last year and I think it has maybe 200,000 miles on it- just broken in. The problem is that his ignition key will no longer start the car. We can get it inserted OK, then turn the switch approximately 20 degrees, but no further. He would like to replace the switch with another (and have it re-keyed and all that jazz), but all of the instructions that we can get hold off say that the switch must be turned to position 1 in order to remove the switch. What can we do if we can't get to position 1?
Thanks in advance, and I hope I can contribute to a solution next time instead of just posting questions/problems.
