Re: [MBZ] Let the ridicule commence, was Ignition Lock Cylinder Replacement?
Had a' 60's Dodge Dart. Whole dash was all chrome. Nice glare with the sun in the rear window. 5 Push buttons arranged vertical for the tranny next to a horizontal arrangement of push buttons for the radio controls. Tried to change the AM station, missed and hit the reverse button doing 50. Wasn't locked out. Must have looked like the old AAMCO commercial. Transmission parts and pieces all over the highway.

When I used to be a corporate troubleshooter I can't count the number of times I had to tell people that Don't worry, we've all done it ourselves. Your only mistake was having someone catch you when it happened Thank goodness it was something simple. I had no idea the W140 chassis lock system was so different from earlier models. At least now I know. I also took the opportunity to hit the lock cylinder with a little bit of graphite while I was there. Dan On Mar 13, 2013, at 7:27 PM, WILTON wrote: Augh! 'Glad it was only that!
