Bit of a strange one this...
I have a problem which happens once a year and at no other time :dont know:
Basically, when I take the car for it's MOT, at some point it is dropped onto brake rollers for a test and then the ignition is turned off while it gets the next inspection.
Then it simply won't start.
Immobiliser beeps like it should, ignition lights come on ok, then the key is turned to start and absolutely nothing happens. No clicks, or whirring, or anything at all. Silence.
The car then gets left for 15-20 minutes and then starts absolutely no problem.
I got told by the garage for the last 2 years that it did that during MOT, but I kind of didn't believe them and assumed that they must have been doing something daft with the immobiliser.
But this time I went to the MOT place myself as I was off work and saw it happen!
Any suggestions at all? It has never ever, not turned over before when the key is turned.
