Hi,
I'm the proud owner of a 2008 997 Carrera just this week. I absolutely love the car but I just seem to have one issue at the moment. Not every time but occasionally when I turn the ignition on in Park the ignition is just dead, as though the immobiliser is on. I can try again and again but nothing. The ignition works in the sense that it brings the electrics on but just doesn't attempt to turn the engine. If i switch it to neutral, it starts without a glitch, first time. Should I be starting the car in neutral. I've had auto cars for years and my main drive is a 2018 e class coupe auto and that starts in park. It seems to be worse if the car is warm. From cold it will nearly always start in Park.
The thing is the car has full opc history and was sold to me with the remainder of the 2 year opc warranty a previous owner bought for the car, it runs out in August. If this is a fault would this be covered under warranty if in fact it is a fault.
Like I say I am a newbie and I may be doing something wrong. If anybody can help, please let me know.
Thanks
