It is likely worth trying the trick to cut out a piece of soda/beer can (1 cm x 1 cm square) and insert it into the ISM to prevent the spring from engaging. You pull back the mechanism with a pick & insert the cut out can piece. This should allow the key to turn & start your car.

Yes, very true, no veggies Mimmi if not specified, most likely the same works with an Italian Saab electritian!! Would love to drive all the way to Finland, problem is it will have to be towed !!!!

If you come here, I can fix your car.
I just changed SCL to my XWD.

That will not work with bad SCL.

If we're sure it's the SCL that is the problem.

Probably worth the 30 min of work to at least try as the car isn't operational now.

 

[Mimmi]

I'll take your next SCL replacement at your 30 mins.
I must be unskilled, because I can not replace locked SCL within 30 mins.

I think we are talking past one another.

I am suggesting he try blocking the spring in the ISM. You are saying that won't work with a broken SCL and I am questioning whether we even know the SCL is the root cause.
