Hi, strange starting issue today. After a motorway run, the engine wouldn’t restart (did sound like a relay was firing, although would not crack). The strange thing is that each time I lifted my foot off the brake, the ignition would instantly turn off (digital screen goes blank with the clouds displayed).
The only way I have been able to get it to restart is to get out of the car, lock it then unlock and it starts. It will restart 2 or 3 times then won’t start again.

I wondered if it could be a brake pedal switch but the brake lights work fine.

The car is a 2011 on 85k with the original starter motor. The fact that the ignition turns off after I lift my foot makes me think it may not just be the started motor, but I know someone on here will have more experience!

Once running the car drives fine.

Any ideas? The car is a daily and is a bit of an issue to say the least.

Cheers. Chris
