General Having problems when starting

[andy armitage]

Hi all Linda says that when she goes to start the car she turns it on and waits for the whirring noises to stop then tries to start it, but sometimes after the whirring has stopped she cannot turn the key any further so has to go through it all again! Anyone else had this problem as it can't be normal can it?

I have noticed ignition is very sensitive to movements of the key. I have had to return key to the off position then turn back to start on many occasions. Hope this makes sense. I have to just be a bit more gentle. I dont really think it is a problem but just something to adapt to.

If the ignition won't turn first check should be the steering lock.

Sorry if that sounds obvious but you haven't mentioned it.

Give the wheel a little wiggle when turning the key.

Also, you cannont turn the key to ign posn when it's been turned off, without first removing the key.
