I just realised that on 15th June I replaced the worn leather gator on the auto-gear stick. It was very tight when I put the car in park. At first I couldn't take my key out as it wasnt sitting in park properly. Then I adjusted the leather a little.. it's still a bit tight but goes into park and I can get my key out easily. This was the first night I saw the problem.

A garage said it could be the inhibitor. I then remembered how the mitsubishi colt didn't start or crank when I left it in gear instead of neutral.

What confuses me is to why it will start first go next day.

Can someone shed some light?
