cops and theives, does it get worse? ign barrel and steering lock

[steveabbott]

After getting a defect, thanks copper, apparently i had an oil leak and my seat belts dont engage, what a joke hey?
anyways I bought a bunky VN just to get around and it has been broken into. The guy i got it off has tried to fix it and has made a mess of the ign barrel, the steering lock was always engaged so he just brute force snapped it so he could drive the car,
my question is, how can i break the steering lock so i can drive it safely? Im about to pull it right apart to teach myself but if anybody knows an easy way to repair or remove it that would be great!
Hope my car gets passed soon
cheers
Steve

either way they are saving lives no??? stop heroin dealer stop someone coming through your windscreen get it?

oh and to break steering lock the easy way he has already done it! you would need a key that suits the barrel....

Same thing, use brute force to snap the catch, or pull apart the ignition clamp on the steering columbe

Driving a vehicle, on a road, that is not roadworthy or has been illegally modified has always been an offence. Nothing new about defects, they have been around for at least 40 yrs. Here's a tip, if your car looks crap and sounds even worse then you will (eventually) attract the attention of law enforcement and likely earn a efect or have your car puit off the road (impounded). No good crying about it, whinging about it, moaning about it. Road Traffic Laws and laws governing vehicle standards have been introduced for the protecton of the majority. If you happen to be one of the minority, then until you become one of the former, life will always seem hard with heaps of Police attention, lots of fines, defect notices etc etc. What's the secret to avoiding such attention: G R O W U P !!

Actually...he asked a question by putting ? after his comment so i think its a fair call.
Altho they could have been a little more suttle !
Sorry to hear about the break in...sorry i cant offer any help.
The idea about a manual sounds the way to go.
Hope you can get it sorted.
