Omega General Help / Re: Steering lock locked!

« on: 25 August 2008, 17:35:53 »

removed it! ....tried drilling it out, wasnt really working so lost my rag and hit it with a hammer a few times and that sorted it... lock removed from steering column, can now steer it, and start it with a screwdriver twisted in the ignition switch block.
Didnt start first time as the immobiliser sensor couldnt contact the key, i guess theres some form of electronic RF chip in the key that needs to be next to the immobiliser sensor, cable tied the key to the sensor and it starts now...

thanks all for your help.

still not getting anywhere, have been waggling away for ages, nothing much seems to be shifting it.

Can it be smashed off, or can the steering lock be snapped off by janking the wheel?


anyone got any more ideas?
otherwise im going to have to scrap the car at this rate.

Cheers
Bob

Hi, i wonder if anyone can help, my omega 2.5 estate N reg, the steering lock has engaged and you cant turn the key to unlock it...tried all the usual tricks like wd40 etc but to no avail...the AA man couldnt do anything either, however due to time restraints i had to get it towed home instead of to a garage...

now ive got a car on my drive i cant take anywhere as the steering lock is in...how do i get it out so i can get it to a garage? or replace the lock?
