No ignition-help!
Tried to start the car after a 4 week rest. On turning the key, all the dash lights briefly flash on for a second, and go off instantly.Turn the key to start and the motor doesn't turn either. Battery fine and all other electrics seem to work (lights, windows, sunroof etc)
Any ideas out there?

If your battery definitely is OK, maybe a dodgy ignition switch (the electrical part). If the dash lights go off straight away, maybe the necessary contacts are no longer being made properly - hence the car also won't start.
I had to replace the electrical part of my ignition switch - didn't have this problem, but actually had the opposite. I had all the dash lights on sometimes when I took the key out - especially after I closed the door.
