Stilo stalling problem
Hi all - can anyone help? I have a stilo estate whch has developed a problem - when I stall it, it won't start at all for about five minutes. I turn the ignition key and it is just dead - then after about five minutes it starts up as normal. It has done this twice - the first time it happened I stalled it whilst parking at the kerb, so it wasn't a problem - but today I stalled it in the middle of the road and it was very embarrassing - not to mention dangerous - to have to sit here for five minutes with the hazards on until it started again!

As you may guess form my name, I'm a bit clueless about cars, but I couldn't see anything about this problem in the handbook so I thought I'd join here and see if anyone can help. Is it something simple? Is there something I should be doing (apart from not stalling it in the first place, that is!) Or do I need to take it to the garage and let them have a look at it?

vehicle details?

Engine capacity / Petrol or Diesel?

...I turn the ignition key and it is just dead.
It means, that you switch key to the first position and no dashboard lights? Dashboard is dead, the car is simply dead?
And after 5 mitutes is everything fine again?
