Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my 55 plate W220. Its recently started doing this and it seems to be getting worse, its intermittent but getting more frequent.
When the fob is put into into the ignition barrel, you hear the steering lock disengage like normal but when the key is turned through position one to two all the lights should come on and needles move etc etc. Initially when the problem started there was a delay of 5-10 seconds before anything happened at all. The key was in position two but nothing happened at all and then after the delay all lights come on and back to normal, ready to be started.
This delay is not normal and all this is normally instant. Recently its started to do nothing at all. I turn the key from position 0 to two but nothing happens at all, no lights, no nothing, not even after waiting. I have to remove the key and try again. Sometimes straight away sometimes after a few goes.
Any one have any ideas?
I'm thinking the barrel is on its way out?
Many Thanks
