Default Transit problem

Just recently i can go to start it, turn the key and nothing happens.

Turn it of then on again and it fires up straight My thought is that the barrel could be worn, it has done 192k

Its a 51 plate. Key isnt worn

Any ideas?

Your key should be thicker than a normal one and they normaly have a blue bit at the top of the key where the imobilizer chip is.

Come to think of it when you turn the key and the light flashes,the next time you turn the key the light normaly still flashes so i dont think it is the imobilzer.I would check for power to the starter when the fault happens like said above.
