Post by: M42_Jester on April 30, 2010, 10:03:53 PM

Got a major problem. My car (1995 318iS) won't start. the key will not turn at all...but it is stuck in position 1, meaning all my lights are on...eventually this will kill my battery.

wat could the causes be? i need to know...
if anyone can help that would b great.

Cheers,
Jester

Shoot some light oil down the key, wiggle the wheel gently to unload the lock, move the key in and out a little..
 HTH, MM
