Just took my car for a drive to town and it seems fine. I think my fix may be a better option.

RE Key stuck I had all of a sudden developed the same problem. After viewing this tread I stripped the centre console to get to the switch on the the shifter. I could find nothing wrong with it even after removing the switch and manualy actuating it by hand the key would still be intermittently...
