01 1.6 auto - Starting Problem - dauntless
My Renault Megane 2001 1.6 Fidgi Auto will often fail to start. On turning the key it behaves exactly as if I am trying to start it in gear, even though it is in PARK, namely, nothing happens. I then switch off and try again hoping that the system will reboot to allow the car to start. I am allowing the full startup sequence of coloured lights to go through its routine and settle down before turning the key again .This often works within three attempts, but yesterday I was stranded for about ten minutes with many reboot attempts before it thankfully started. Naturally I'm worried that it will refuse to start permanently.
I would be glad to know if this is a common fault and of any suggestons about how it may be overcome.
