The quickest way is to remove the ign barrel which will disable the steering lock then tow it home.
You will need to send to Germany for a replacement key unless you want to change the locks then swap the ews etc.

Whatever they want for the car it'll be plus £220 (think that's the current price) for a key from Xpart which is the easiest way.Unless Andy has some special method I don't know. Brian and Russ have posted before that the steering column has to be replaced as the ignition barrel can't be removed without the key. To quote Russ:

Swap the steering column for a one with a key.............LINK, send me the EWS, and I'll make you a working key transponder or two.
Much cheaper than the alternative Brian |
