Re: Key wouldn't turn, got car started, steering wheel locked

Well my new years eve was spent cutting the head off of one of those bolts as the wheel locked again. I sheared the head, took an awl to pinch it thru and wala, it worked again! Long enough to get me to work and back. It was a hostile takeover at Case New Holland plant for the security company I wor...

Re: Key wouldn't turn, got car started, steering wheel locked

Tried 3 different drills, not enough room. Considered dropping the column but that looks like a hassle too. The car started, the key was in th...

Re: Key wouldn't turn, got car started, steering wheel locked

My wife took the Volvo as soon as she knew it was working, I just hope it keeps working for her. She wasn't into taking the 84 VW Rabbit Cabrio out for a drive with the non existent heater and tightly tucked wheels in fenderwells. Doesnt like the snow, it sits low enough it plows! Lol

Re: Key wouldn't turn, got car started, steering wheel locked

So, after messing with this for days, off and on (it's been averaging about 15 degrees as the high), I got the dremel cut off wheels and went out to start the car and the screwdriver in the ignition switch would turn on everything, but not start it. I tried the key, it now turns! Hooked ignition swi...

Re: Key wouldn't turn, got car started, steering wheel locked

I am wondering if this will work, could be a quick and easy fix. I wonder if it is a problem that my key will not move out of the 0 position, his was in the 1 position. Any thoughts?
