W210 Fan

So, long time no speak, ive been busy with reliable motors!
I have a W208, the key stopped working so I employed Autotronics to investigate it, they asked for the ignition module which I sent off and they sent me a new key which unlocked the doors but didnt start the engine, the ignition module wouldnt accept the key, it didnt make the `servo` noise and I coudnt turn it, I have checked all the connections to the ignition module and ive checked the fuses and relays, I moaned and 3 weeks later (today) a new key turned up, this one doesnt even unlock the doors but when its in the ignition the light on the key glows red which is odd,
So does anybody have an idea on why it doesnt start? obviously I need to get my money back from autotronics and start somewhere else but do we think the ignition module might be gone or the electronic steering lock?
Help greatfully receieved as its driving me potty not being able to use it, im slumming it in a W140 in the mean time!
