Default Ignition cylinder 1982 240d

How difficult of a job is it to replace this? I only work on cars casually (routine maintenace and easier jobs like radiators/shocks/etc), and have not taken out the dash on this car before.

The key will turn but won't engage the starter..it stops turning without any "spring action" to enage the starter.

Thanks!

i think diesel giant has a tutorial on this. www.dieselgiant.com i think it's time consuming but not difficult.

if i rememeber correctly you dont have to remove whole dash you should be able to pull instrument cluster and reach thru there.instrument cluster only pops out too.
