Aaaaaarh! Went out to my car this morning to go to work put key in lock, turned it and the sodding key snapped off in the lock. I've not tried to get the key out yet, but I need to know my options especially as it was my only key :headvswal:mad:

Might be able to get a key specialist to cut a new one if the key has only snapped in one place, otherwise the locks will have to be changed:(

have you managed to get the door open ?

best thing to do is to open it remove the door lock and get the key out and try and get a new one cut !

if not i can send you some keys and 1 will probably fit

I haven't managed to get the door open yet. I'll try again later. Its only snapped in one place, I was hoping to maybe get something in there to ease it out.

 

Cheers Paul, I'll get back to you on that one. Can they really be opened by other nissan keys?

old locks tend to be worn;)

Very true - however a dose of WD-40 every now and again and they'll turn like new again ;)

in the UK cars the key number is on a small sticker in the glove box, locksmiths will be able to cut a new key from this

i bet i have enough zed keys that i could get in every zed !

Cheers Ian, Mine's a UK one so If I can get in I'll have a look. My only key wasn't original and have been meaning to get another cut but havent had it long and just spent a few thousand sorting everything out and has been with a mechanic for 3 months. Only driven it for two weeks since getting it back!!

Yay! All sorted. Got a second key done while at it. Was told its common on Nissan keys as the key is cut deep by the handle end and breaks easy. Must get a remote system in place. Any suggestions?

 

He also said you would probably find the key opens a few Subaru doors as well! ..Scary :shock:
