my B3 is a "work in progress", it has been sat in the car park at work for a while and not used a great deal. Started it up yesterday without a problem. left it running and went inside to get some de-icer. it had cut out by time i got back. Tried to restart - nothing happening.
electrics still appear to work ie hazards. took key out (break was over)and came back to it later, to find key would not now fit in the ignition barrel. it was as if i was trying to start the car with a totally wrong key.
Had some barrel issues before, which had not had time yet to explore - fuel and temp guages did not work so senders were replaced - still not working - then jiggled key in ignition and they came to life. (released key and went off again)
Any ideas? - this was intended to be a daily smoker as my V8 a swine on fuel, however has only done 600 miles since June, want to get my finger out and get it up and running so that i can trick it up if poss in summer.
thanks all and merry xmas etc etc
