After jumping out and closing the curtains at a delivery, the ignition key of my Scania R series won’t go in, there’s a small metal block at the bottom of the keyhole that’s stopping me from putting the key in. The steering lock isn’t on as I haven’t moved the wheel of the truck whilst unloading and the steering lock isn’t on. Anyone have a clue what to do with it while I’m waiting for Scania assist
You will…
Need.
A centre punch.
A Stanley screw driver.
A small lump hammer.
Place the centre punch against the centre of the drivers window and then hit it hard with the lump hammer.
You have now gained access to the vehicle.
Place the screwdriver into the key lock and batter it like ■■■■ until the tumblers have crumbled like sugar lumps.
Turn the screwdriver until the starter motor is engaged.
Drive off in your new vehicle.
Here to help.

A flat head screwdriver pushed in will move the block down
Case closed,
a lump hammer and a screwdriver fixed it. The sprung block that holds the key in place had jumped out of its slot, but as much as I’d liked to have fixed it myself the corporate bullshine insist that a call out is put in

Why a Stanley screwdriver?

Yes as does my place now.
A colleague snapped an ABS lead screwing a trailer round in the yard 
and because the workshop was closed it resulted in a call out.
I did ask why they dudnt just pinch one off another unit thats not due out until after the workshop was open but got looked at as though I’d just wee’d in their mouth, like I was talking gibberish

I was told…
All those years ago, that a Stanley was able to withstand a more constant and sustained battering form a hammer than other cheaper makes of screwdriver.
I have no experience of whacking screwdrivers with hammers so, I’m unable to judge such matters.

Sounds like your company employ a large number of mouthbreathers, who will jump in and drive 50 miles to collect a trailer… “well boss…”…

Got to be a supermarket or similar operation, i found yet another broken Scania cab mount when checking the oil one morning, told 'em the motor was VOR even though the rubbing marks on the grill told the story it had been like that for a while, after the statutory rabbit caught in headlight scene in the office i was told to ‘‘take it round to the bloke who fits bulbs’’ (i kid you not ) who surprisingly enough didn’t have a new cab mount or block and tackle to lift the cab stuffed in his back pocket, motor still VOR but another half hour’s pay for me 
Sometimes all you can do is shake your head wearily at the idiocy of the way these places operate.

Not a supermarket, a formally family firm now purchased by a logistics concern…

Logistics, the magic word you don’t need to say anymore
Bulbs, suzies etc we change, there’s a OEM bulb & fuse kit kept in the cabs and we’re expecting to do it, and I’m one of those who ends up changing the bulbs on trucks that the regulars somehow forget to fix or report as defective. But when it comes to bashing bits and trying to fix them when there’s a risk of making it worse, or the repair bill for what I did could be avoided then it’s time to phone the office, ask for advice and put the ball in their court. Because as the lifetime limper IF I screw up I’ll be booted off the yard and the agency will drop me like a stone
