I bought one like that for $200 and a beater with a supposedly good
engine for another $200. So that's a $200 car.

It will go to BaT with a reasonable reserve, but I would hope it would end up
north of $10k.

I don't think your problem can be the lock. The wafers retract or they don't.
When they retract they either move enough to turn the lock or they don't,
theres no way for the lock to open partially. I think your lock cylinder is
working correctly and something beyond it is binding up...

And it may well be that, which is part of the electrical switch. It's an easy
test: two 8mm bolts release
the switch from the back of the lock assembly. Remove it

normally that is "wiggle the steering wheel to get the bind off the
steering lock", but David said the steering was unlocked. I'd guess it
is still a wafer hung up.

I planned on restoring this as best as possible and if the market permitted,
leverage it to find one in better condition.
The market permits. I’ll see if I can get BaT money for it then go looking for
another, better example.

Maybe it's 3 bolts/screws, it's been so long... And for me, never on a 116.
But 116 and 107 share
a lot of things, and I have done this on a 107.

I need to repalce the rear wiper hose on my '83 300TD wagon as it is
leaking. Anyone BTDT?
My local advisor (former MB tech) says it is a very tricky job that the
dealer techs used to hate doing, as in: 1) the hose winds its way through
the hinge grommet, 2) must remove headliner, and 3) it's
I believe that's also the case on the 116. Sigh.

Pretty good money for a sedan. At least it had new half shafts.
I keep wondering where the value is though. No mention of rebuilt head, new
steering box, new transmission, or rebuilt turbo. All are wear items at
that mileage.

The SD had that issue, sort of. There is the end of the tumbler that fits into
a sliding switch mechanism once you turn the key. The SD had somehow buggered
that up, so that it would not disengage the steering lock and allow the key to
turn. I had to get the tumbler out to see if a flat head

They need a mathematics refresher course. 24-years and 1982 do not get to 2019.

A fellow I supplied with a bunch of my spare R107 parts for his rebuild of a
1972 SL had to unbunggle many bits. One was the ignition from a w124. I had a
quartet of the obsolete ignition switches he took with.

I'm not sure a new cylinder is usually required. I don't really see how they
go "bad". I'd bet many were replaced which were merely cruddy inside. A good
locksmith should be able to clean/refurbish a lock cylinder. Might have to
replace some of the springs, I often stretched 'em getting them
The thing is that car is more than half worn out. It may keep clattering
along for another 100k before the tranny is totally shot, and a lot of
rubber looks like it was replaced, but the steering is going to be loose
and the motor may need work. Turn signal stalk may go, no cruise, yada yada.

I've not been into a 116. On the 123, it is 3 small screws. It probably

On a 124 car, one must be able to turn the key to position 1 (FSM section
46-8110) in order to remove the electrical switch from the back of the
ignition.
Maybe a 116 is different?
