zed keeps the key!

[ma'z'y]

Twice iv parked my zed and the key will not turn all the way back allowing me to remove it, if i start the car again and drive maybe to another parking space then the key can be removed as normal, its not the steering lock as iv tried turning the wheel to free the key, any ideas??

Erm.. are you putting it into park if its a tiptronic and not Neutral?

 

Just an idea.

if it holds the key again call the Police, it will get nicked for stealing.

[ma'z'y]

Yeah its an auto/tronic, yep, in to park as normal but key wont come out, like i said its only happened twice but cant think what else could cause the key to be held. I did threaten to call the cops on it but then i realised id have to walk home

Got this picture in my head now of Basil Fawlty threatening the car and then thrashing it with a big branch.

ok so i found out what was happining, quite silly really, the button on the change lever wasnt quite interlocking in the park position so the key lock was still active, i found this out when id put it in to park and the key got stuck again, then i went to turn my radio off and my hand knocked the change lever slightly and it popped in fully. amazing.

Its alright, i had a basil faulty moment the first day i got mine. I was trying to move it infront of all my work mates, but i couldnt get the gear lever into drive... i didnt realise i had to put my foot on the brake!!
