The steering lock engagement has been intermittent the past 3 days, always made the mechanical *whirrr* as normal but didn't always engage and lock. Parked it last night, *whirrr* but lock not engaged (could turn wheels). This morning.. dead, with solid key symbol. It's had the once over from the RAC (keys, battery etc) and now awaiting recovery.
2012 car, 30k miles, 10 months out of warranty (sigh..), steering lock revision 48700 JF00D-B1-01 dated 03.08.10. I'm assuming this falls well outside of the recall business, so not looking forward to what's coming next.
