Unlock steering

[evor]

Weird thing happened stopped outside Daughters switched car off didn't lock and went inside. When I came back out switched on but everytime I pressed brake to get it to go to ready could hear a relay and warning on screen saying please unlock steering. The powered steering light was on and amber after bit of fiddling switching off etc. Finally heard clunk of lock coming off steering. Been OK since then.
Anyone else had this.

Not had that.

I've had instances of stuck steering lock on different cars. It's been caused by too much pressure on the lock, stopping it from releasing.
All it needs is enough opposite pressure on the steering wheel to release the pressure on the lock.
Not sure if it is the same as your problem though

The mg3 appears to be an electronic lock unlike my previous cars which needed to be turned sometimes to lock after removing key. Not happened since so hoping just a blip.

Haven't had this happen, but glad to know that it's possible. All I get is a notification on the screen asking me to straighten the wheel but never to unlock it.
