broken ignition key
 
I"m on the road but my son just called me. Said he got in my 930 to move it and the key just snapped off in it. Not having seen it myself yet, does anyone know can you take the switch apart to get the old key out ??? If so how?? Luckily I had a new key made last week!!

Tweezer, or maybe a small rod with a dab of super glue at the end.

Don't put superglue in it, it can create a bigger problem. Depending on how much is in there, be aware the wafers can drop down behind the broken piece. Make sure the key is truly in the off position before you attempt to pull it out. Locksmiths use key extractors that is a hardened wire with a spiral groove on the outside that winds in next to the key. Just don't do anything that will damage your ignition. It is cheaper to pay an auto type locksmith to get it out than to replace the ignition. Good luck

So Safecracker do you make house calls?? ( Cold beer and plenty of Porsche talk if you feel like visiting NH)
