depends how they did it, if they used some kind of tool like a chisel to break it then probably not, if they did it by wrenching at the steering wheel then they might have weakened the steering shaft.
When somebody atempted to steal my old sr they snaped the end off the shaft before the lock brock which ment the steering wheel came off . LOL

I still have the replacement i got which you can have for ?10 if you want to colect from stoke!! (cars going to be scraped due to rust)

You need to find out whats happened to the lock, you don't want it coming back at 70mph.

his indicators dont go off when he goes round corners aswell...
he has to turn them off and put on by hand

the indicators are turned off by a little pin that poke's out of the back of the steering wheel.

as for the steering lock if the key barrel is still intact the locking pin is still in there somwhere!!!! won't be nice if it find's it's way into where it should be while ure doin 90mph!!!!!!!!!

damage from a broken steerin lock depend's on how it was broken, ive seen a whole colum torn off the rivets which hold it under the dash b4 the locking pin broke!!!!

i would check very carefully as this could result in a serious accident


Get It Checked ASAP!!!

see if the twat has cross thread the nut on the steering wheel,ive done that earlyer,
and make sure the spring behind the steering wheel.
