Dear Group,

This is a short and precise question.
Anybody out there had any luck hammering a screwdriver into the lock
tumbler of an ignition lock on a Mercedes 190 ?

My problem is that I lost my only ignition key for the MB 190 and now I
bought new keys just to reliase that prior owner had changed the
tumbler. So I bought a new tumbler only to be told be Benz that I
needed the old key etc...

I searched the net for days and found nothing, so to recap:

- I do not have the key so normal procedure is out
- I do not have a Souber kit either
- and I do not know how to drill it out myself

So does anybody know of anyone who hammered a screwdriver into the
tumbler in order to turn it to POS 1 ?

TIA
Morten
