!Intermittent ignition fault...detecting a slightly sweet, toasty smell in the car’
‘Do you even Gibson last v8? -
Turn the heat on in the car, if smell gets stronger it may indicate a heater matrix leak.... Not sure if this is a thing in Subaru though.
The key getting stuck in the ignition isn't just the steering lock being engaged? As on if you turn the wheel with the key in ignition it locks the steering and makes it locks the key?

My Suby has been back to the place I got it twice now... Intermittent ignition fault where the key won't come out, guy thought he had fixed it yesterday but it did it again when I got home from the garage, pretty bloody annoying... I've also been detecting a slightly sweet, toasty smell in the car, mechanic thought it was coolant, no visible leeks anywhere in the very clean engine bay (looks brand spankers!) so also a bit of a mystery...
I think the auction place will have to send it to a specialist Suby garage... Not getting much joy from them...
