Hi all,
I've a 1997 900se 2.0 Turbo Talladega Auto 74,5OO miles. Today for the first time the key would not turn in the ignition. It happened while I was at the parts store! After some twiddling it eventually moved and I made it home. Now its done the same thing again but luckily(if that's the right word :)the car is my drive. I've read previous posts and tried the lube,twiddling, spare key etc route but to no avail. It feels like it is being mechanically prevented from turning. The shifter is in P. The cylinder will not move and I don't want to break the key off. I was wondering whether the auto shifter parking lock/adjustment is the most likely cause rather than the cylinder itself? I've already started to tear down the console etc to get at it. Thanks.
Colin
