All,
Hope Xmas was good!
Here my (new) interesting problem.
As you might remember I had to replace my tumbler.
Bought a new (expensive) 230sl tumbler with the chrome ring.
Installed it and then turned the key to position 1 (red light in dash is on) then to position 2 and then ignition ...
Nothing ...
No starter engine ...
Took it apart again so I was able to see if I could start the Carr with a screw driver ... Yes this worked ...
So here I am, electricity on the ignition, it starts with a screw driver, but when I turn it past postion 2 nothing happens.
Anybody any experience with this?
Be well,
Bart

Update
When the sh.t hits the fan
1. I tried to refit my old tumbler to see if it would turn "further" then the new one
2. Remember ... the old tumbler is old ... and it broke while I tried
3. So I tried to pull it out of the steering lock
4. ... but then the mechanism inside the steering look came loose
5. And now I can rotate the steering lock axle 360 degrees and I can not push the rotating piece "back in"
6. And the pin does not come out anymore
Shoot (type of "****") ... what to do ???
Sorry to bother you with my dash problems for the last couple of weeks.

Dear Bart
Merry Christmas. Sorry but this time I have no experience on the ignition lock assembly unit itself……
Best regards

All,
Good afternoon.
As you saw in the thread I had problems with my ignition.
Bought a new one, build it into the dash, but it stopped turning.
Sent it back to SLS shop and they reimbursed me.
But now I'm without a tumbler ...
Problem is that I can not find a replacement for my w113, 230sl, 1967 in Europe.
Who could help me?
Best,
Bart
