All was well with my 320 till the other day when it refused to turn over.

The battery is charged (all dials, radio etc.. work). It will push start no problem. However it will start via the key if you try immediatly after turning off, but after 5 mintues or so, no turn over via key.

At the garage when I tried to start it after getting cigs, it made an odd clicking sound from behind the center of the dash and all the dials spun off their rest marks..

Any guesses?
