The story so far.....
I started the car and the starter stuck on for a few seconds as the key did not spring back. I drove 10 miles stopped and now it will not start.
When the ignition is on all dash lights work perfectly
Checked the starter its fine took it off and bench tested
Checked starter Switch seems fine but does have a slight crack
Checked Battery
If anyone has any idea's id be very gratefull as i am on my 3rd day on this car now and i am very stressed :runaround:

1) Turn lights on + honk your horn.
Do they work?
