    Starter motor or the Starter motor solenoid.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    Might sound weird but if you have 2 keys try the other one. The battery gets flat in the head and the imobiliser wont work. This is if you are turning key and have all lights but it wont turn over.
    Mine was doing it for a while then is stopped. It was the key

    Flat out - explain, does it like try a little bit, does the starter solinoid engage, do you get reds, does the imobiliser light go out, is the battery shagged and its just goin flat??
