+1 for the battery.
Either very low charge or u/s.
Caun you persuade anyone round about to jump start the car for you.
Another battery connected to your car should allow you to turn the key.

Crumbs muck etc gets into the ignition barrel, you could try blowing it out with an airline

i thought you had done that already ....brake light could be a stuck pedal switch.. ... - .- -.

hadent striped down the consoll then ,have undon the two screws that hold the barrel thats when the key moved but not been able to do it again but im getting there need to remove switch and barrel noe to clean it up ,how do i get it out ?

brake light is ok when running so dont think its the switch ,think its a differant issue tbh

I had this problem with the key and a few places couldn't solve it. Believe it or not the previous owner had spilt coke over the console and barrel etc. and it had never been thoroughly cleaned up causing a sticky film over connections. I had took it to places and they put all the machines on to tell the problems but there isn't a traceability setting for spilt coke so sometimes its not the obvious. Cost me hundreds to not solve it but only £50 charged to clean it up properly. No problem since........fingers crossed! Once a Blue, Always a Blue

update 2, ignition swich/barrel taken off car switch cleand but barrel kaput so think have solved that problem ,
now just the brake light issue ie they are lit when no key in ignition or foot on brake ,have disconected bp switsh and still lit so switch ok

Update 3 ignition barrel and swich all re stripped and cleaned and put back together seems to work now but not tried on car as too dark now .

have had to leave battery disconected as bloody brake lights still lit even with no ignition switch in ,

any ideas as what to do about this issue , have tried disconecting the foot brake switch with no joy .

Is it all three brake lights or just the high one? Might be a relay sticking. Have you hot rave to look at the wiring diagrams? [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

hi rob ,yes its all three had a look at diags but cant make head nor tail of them.

like i posted earlyer someone on another site had the same problem even down to ignition switch not moving and not being able to get the key out so i think both issue are related will find out in about a half a hour if car will start

Can anyone confirm that when a brake switch is disconnected as to whether the brake lights should be on or off?
