Does anyone elses classic scoob do this? I had thought it was nothing to worry about, but it gave me scare exiting a couple of left handers at Trax when they fell out.

 

Unless you're talking about keys falling out of your pocket this is not normal. Get thee to a garage.

i got a mcrae and the keys come out too. however they rarely fall out. i do find this is great on cold mornings as i can start the engine, pull out the keys, lock the doors get inside me house and have a nice cup of tea and when i go out to the car...its lovely and toastie....but us southerners are whimps like that!

 

My classic also does this.When the ignition is on or the engine running i can remove the keys from the barrel and put them in my pocket.Nice trick but im always worried that the steering lock might come on if its driven

 

My old micra did this always used to start it then put keys in ashtray as they fell out once and went under pedal i never worried about it though and steering lock never came on

done the cup of tea trick aswell although put gear **** lock on aswell as locked it up as i lived in rough area LOL

 

The key doesnt fall out of the barrel on our MY93 but I spent a good ten mins trying to work out why our car was still running when I had the keys in my hand last week. I spent a long time assing about the the turbo timer before I realsed the barrel was still on the ignition setting

 

Yeah, my last one did that too..

Like kicked says, it was really useful.

 

Unfortunately I was full wide open throttle on a corner at trax when mine did it. Not a big thing in itself but the immobiliser suddenly lost its signal.

It was very interesting as I span round.

Then I couldnt find the damn things to start it again

 

sounds like a worn key or ignition barrel problem.

 

My old Lancia had the same "feature".

It's great for $hitting up passengers though
