Any help welcome. Left my RR 07 TD8 in for a Valet earlier this evening and just got a call from the guy telling me the key would not turn in the ignition. I drove over to the garage and found my beloved RR half dead. Drivers seat buttons were dead (I tired to move it back from where they had been cleaning but nothing) I tried key in ignition and would not go beyond a qtr turn. I tried putting alarm on and off but not luck. I also tried lazy close and opening and noticed the windows did not all go down uniformly and when I tried lazy close the drivers window lagged behind and remained half open. I am sure that the valet had done something to disable the RR but cannot understand what. The only other thing I can think of is that I got a replacement key from Autokey about 6 months ago and was hoping it might be the problem but it seems like a big coincidence that the key fails the same time I leave it for valet.

I intend to call the main dealer in the morning and also go to the autokey place to check key but any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. If I have to get car recovered to main dealer over weekend I fear my wife will be without it for the Xmas period.

Thanks John

PS it is my wife RR so the valet was a treat for xmas to spruce it up.
 
Thanks - should have been obvious to me. I called the guy and asked him to put on trickle charge overnight and hopefully will be firing in the morning. thanks for the advice
