    Hi All,
    Issue with car at moment, maybe someone else has had same issue in the past. Its a push button start model, when you insert the key and press the button car wont start, no light other than handbreak lit on dash, then all lights come on and fan starts but still wont turn on when you press again, then when you press a third time it wont start but inside car light will come on with dash lights going off, takes about 5 mins of trying for it to start, but when it does start it drives fine - no loss of power?Any suggestions:(

    Ive heard of something like this before. I think you need to have the brake pedal pushed before pushing the button. Try it out. Other than that im not sure. Good Luck. :)

    As above i'm sure you know the brake/clutch has to be pressed for the car to start. Other than that, if it's under warranty i'd be getting it checked out.
