Dear All, been having this problem for a month or so.

when turn key, car refuses to start.

sometimes in "P" mode have to move it a bit to start.
if cannot have to move gear to "N" and maybe car will start.
worse case is shift from "P"to "N"and in between car will start.

out of 5 times this happens 3 times.

can any kind souls offer advise / reason of this problem and est of the repair cost?

car is stock with batt stabilizer only. regular 10k servicing

From wat you hav said it seems like the gearbox position sensor is faulty,
send your car to a reliable workshop to hav it chk. Hope this could solve the problem.

What elias said is correct. If ur sensor still sense its not in p mode, ur car wont crank.
