Status: offline Wife''s 2000 disco II is stuck at BabiesRUS. The steering wheel is locked and key will not turn. Tried resetting alarm with 3 locks/unlocks. Pulled battery. Hit ignition with Hammer(PLUS LUBRICANT). Checked Fuses. Any ideas? I saw something about the spider problem, but don''t know if that relates to this. I have done many searches, but have come up empty. PLEASE HELP!

Status: offline THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY! We have pulled on the wheel and turned the key. I also have rocked the car back and forth. It is not on a parking block. Any other ideas? Thanks,

Status: offline You could try putting the T-case in neutral and rolling the car back and forth. Of course you should only try this on level ground.

Cheers,

Status: offline Rock the steering wheel back and forth as you turn the key.. I am assuming that the wheel is cranked hard to one side, never do this when you park, always straighten the wheels or you can lock your steering wheel.
