currently locking mechanism broken*, if one never planned to park on a hill, should one bother fixing it?
as an anti-theft device, the steering wheel can be unlocked if enough force is used (I've done it by cranking on the wheel without too much effort) *can turn wheel with key out of ignition |

My old 1970 914-4 wheel never locked since i owned it second hand. Do not know if it ever did. But what did happen is the lock cylinder one day decided to fall out while driving. If it had been a locking type, I might have been in trouble on the road.
Good point about emergency shut off in case of fire (need to turn off fuel pump with key) dave |
