S80 2liter auto

can anyone help? just picked up a second hand s80 with no hand book,
when i turn the engine of & try to retrieve the ignion key it turn's 3
quarters off & stops & i have to fiddle for half an hour to get it out
what am i doing wrong? & secondly the thumb button on the auto gear
stick will stick in & pops out on its own accord? how do i rectify
this? Thank you

 

The sticking thumb button is stopping the key from turning the lock far
enough to get the key out. You'll need to inspect and lubricate the
cable that runs from shifter to ignition lock. When this happened in my
V70, I found that slapping the shifter allowed the button to pop out and
freed up the key.

 

thanks that worked great. On Fri, 22 Aug 2003 10:10:36 -0400, Mike F
