Hi
I have had my V70 2002 for only one week. bought from very reputable dealer with flawless service history. Drove it fine this morning then parked in the driveway. Went to put the car away in the garage and it will not start. All the dash lights go on (no battery problem) but will not turn past the 1 position to ignition. Also the auto shift will not budge out of park either. Have tried everything i can think of and my husband too including trying the other keys, turning on and off, locking and unlocking the car, depressing brake pedal etc but no luck.
the brake lights are working.
When you try to turn it on there is a slight clock/click noise coming from the gearbox which you can also feel when you have your hand on the shift lever
if you press brake pedal down in position 1 you can replicate the noise. if you press the brake pedal down and then try to turn on there is no noise at all, but still can't shift out of park or turn on.
really stuck - no way to move car from the driveway, it's 30th December so no mechanics open, and our nearest Volvo dealer is an hour's drive away over a mountain. Does anyone have any idea what could cause it??? Please help
