Doesn't include the switch, cylinder or cylinder retainer cap, though. Bought it when I thought I'd have to demolish my column to remove the cylinder. I think it was $95 at Mercedes, no reasonable offer refused.

I am sure they show up from time to time. I was just using the one I had up for auction as an example of the procedure I used. I do not want to get into another "discussion" about vendors so I will give you a couple to look at. www.mbz.org www.epsparts.com Call their toll free numbers, you will want to talk to a human on this order. If you are wanting a lock cylinder that matches your VIN. You will need to go to the dealer. However if you do not mind a different key on your ring you can order from the two above. I ordered all mine from epsparts with no problems. 1. Steering lock 2. Lock cylinder. 3. Armored collar 4. Vacuum switch (optional) 5. Main switch (optional) 6. buzzer switch (optional) I purchased the tool also, but you can make one, and with patience it will work just as well. Sorry, I cannot remember how much it cost for the parts listed. The new lock cylinders are better quality than the original equipment. 300d equipment, I do not know if it would work or not. I would just get a new one so you will not have to revisit this problem in the near future. :) Good luck Derick - -----Original Message----- From: Justin H [mailto:mugenb18-at-hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 6:24 PM To: diesel-benz-at-digest.net Subject: [db] Ignition Assembly Well I've succesfully Removed my Ignition/Steering lock mechanism from the 190, after removing the steering column (Thanks for the advice Derick, and John) So now I am ready to reassemble and Get away to the coast! All I need is the new assembly, Anyone have any good advice on obtaining one inexpensively? Derick, You reccomended buying one off E-bay, as per your auction pictures. However I didnt seem to find one for my 190. Am I looking in the wrong places maybe? What would happen if I used one from say a 300D? They look almost identical. Anyways thanks for all your help everyone, talk to ya soon. -Justin H _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar ^V get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ - --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

No lock, cap etc. Thought I had a bad switch ( I did ) , but when I got it all apart, it was obvious that the lock should also be replaced as a preventative measure. Down at the Mercedes dealer: "Oh, we only sell that as an assembly with the switch" :(. Offers?

In fact she didnt want to turn off when I tried to tell her too. LOL had to use the Fuel pump kill switch. This is my first diesel, so The "Dieseling" problem is new to me. Anyone have any ideas for me, as far as fixing this Not so bad problem.
