Hi all, my ignition key seems to be turning all the way round past the start position without starting the engine, it doesn't spring back neither, although the starter motor clicks, after 15-20 attempts it finally starts. I've not got time to look at it today but where should I start? New...

Guys, I've been recommended Iain of auto elec by many of you, and in all honesty I'm probably going to go with him over anyone else, even with his traveling cost on top of the cost of the job, however, id really like it looked at by someone first, just to confirm how bad things are or even tell...
