Technical steering lock

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

hi everyone

while reading a thread today has reminded me to ask a question on here
i own a fiat punto mk2b on an 05 plate and when i turn the ignition off the steering lock doesnt engage it just stays normal

why could this be ?

Steering lock is supposed to engage when you take the key out of the ignition switch, not when you turn the ignition off.

Might have seen enemy action at some point. Try some WD40 -- might free it off.
