Best way is to get 17 mm socket on a breaker bar and lock it into place and give your key a quick turn, works every time

Further to this....

The engine starts, and runs. What happens next can range from nothing at all, to someone or something getting nailed by a rapidly moving breaker bar and 17mm socket.

You don't need ignition, you just need the motor to crank over on the starter a few turns. :wink:
