New tumbler ... new problem

[BartSt]

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.

As you see the Turing part is way to deep ...

Dear Bart

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

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
