This may be me being stupid but below is what happened to me last night - can anyone explain?
Parked up at petrol station with mate in car so I left keys in ignition (turned all the way off) with radio on. Put petrol in, paid and got back in car - went to start the engine and the keys just kept turning in the ignition barrel - spinning round and round and round! Nothing changed on my dash no battery lights or anything that normally happens when you turn the key - at this point I was shatting it cos I'm not in AA or anythin and was thinkin how to shift the car out of the way! Turned the keys back and forth loads of times, it kept spinning the barrel but not turning anything on! Took the key out put it back in and everything was fine - started straight away!
Is this wierd or what?
Was thinkin today it could be some kind of immobiliser / security device but a rubbish one!
Dunno if it helps but the radio had also turned itself off when I was away.
