I forget which car but one of my MBs needed both. Got a new cylinder and about
a month later it was sticking again, got a new lock and all was well.
The moral of the story is if you replace the cylinder and need the lock its
because you ALSO needed the lock, the cylinder was probably bad...

Its the cylinder, without a doubt. But, if you have it out and it still
wont turn with a screwdriver, then its not the cylinder. But, as I
said, its 99.99% sure that it is.
