After hours of fruitless searching and other distractions, a new thread is required.
about 70% of starts in my 3.0TDV6 2010 model require a second push of the starter button.
Yes I know the sequence, brake then starter button. Does it more often when warm, but sometimes surprises me. Hardly ever does cold ie first start of the day.
Sometimes an message is shown but not often- Steering Not Unlocked.
Did it 3 times with a Prado driver in the passenger seat. That'll keep haunting me...
Anyhow, all ideas and comments are welcome.

There was a software update quite early to do with the steering lock on start-up.
Edit: Mine's problem was solved when I disabled the lock.

First press lights up the dash but no starter and no noise of steering lock being withdrawn.
Then the lights go out regardless of whether the button is still pressed or not.
Had it occasionally, seems to be linked to how long the vehicle sat around.
Had all updates applied now and vehicle running at its best...

SubscriberI have the same problem on my 2010 3.0 tdv6 but probably not as often. Sometimes it starts with the steering wheel locked message. It goes away after restarting the car.
I also get some bing bings (there must be a better way to describe these!) just after starting on some occasions. There are no associated messages.
Ive never mentioned it to the dealer as its not been a significant problem. Im curious what might be causing this to happen.

SubscriberI get these 2 'bings' also sometimes. About 15 secs after starting. Also wonder what they mean.Originally Posted by RoverLander

Next time it happens see if there is a warning triangle,use the right hand side togle switch it will say what the issue is.
On mine its usually because I didnt shut the rear hatch properley

No bongs, no warnings, just wont start.
I did notice the lights on the dash a very slightly different so will check the difference next time and post it up.
Like Roverlander, insignificant in the big scheme of things but annoying none the less.

I found it very annoying having to make several attempts to start and rather nervous driving with the message that the steering wheel was locked. Then when Drivesafe's RR steering wheel locked with the key still in the ignition as the failed alternator abruptly flattened the battery whilst still on the road, I changed the CCF to show that the steering column lock is not fitted. Neither failed starts nor steering column locked messages have since occurred and I'm much more confident that the steering wont lock whilst driving.
