My 1.4 8V Active Sport steering lock has decided to stop working, and after seeing how much the garage cost to just "have a gander for 20minutes" (aka have lunch) im not taking it there. Its only 4 years old. and only just out of warranty
It started to be intermittent and then one day it just refused to come on. no matter how much i turn the steering wheel the lock will not engage. Ive tried wriggling the key around and turning it fast, slow, firm, smooth.etc but cant seem to get it to work.
From what ive found out ive more than likely damaged the pin so would probably be looking at replacing the whole thing. Has anyone done this before and if so how did you find it.
Or has any one got any other ideas as to what could be causing this.
Any help would be appreciated.
