iain2010 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hey Guys! Just got my car back from the garage! Full service and new starter motor but now the key wont come out of the ignition. It will turn only as far as the point that lets you pull it out but no further! Can anyone help? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRX Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Happened to me when I first stripped my dash, never had an auto before and had no idea it did that! I was pulling and twisting and giving it a good old yank, was lucky not to snap the key off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
