URBAN MYTH - STUFF AND NONSENSE!! CR*P! B*LONEY!!
My son and I have ALWAYS driven around our 123 300D and 300TD daily
drivers with heavily laden key chains and have not had to change a
single tumbler in a combined 20 years of motoring!!
I will opine that it has more to do with how carelessley you insert
the key and turn it...

I'm replacing it anyway, and hoping Neil's experience was a fluke...
Tumblers WILL fail quite quickly if there is sufficient weigh hanging on
the key - especially if the car is driven aggressively.
