I Watched the video. Bought a replacement barrel , then watched the video again, then replaced with the new barrel. Exactly as described. Great Video , saved me plenty . Great stuff. Thank you.
I bought a recon barrel barrel. Delivered on time. 2 new blades pre cut. . Returned old one, received my deposit back. Jobs a gooden. Great lads, very helpful. Thank you. Sando.
Thanks for this clear video. It is the second time i have to remove the steringlock to open it to replace a new lever on Nissan Cashqai (2011). My carkey stuck again after two years of changing it. Btw do you have a video how to remove and change this small aluminum part on the front of the ignition switch? Its called Ignition lock repair lever
Hi, the key is in there parts. There is the blade, the screw and the black square remote. As long as the black remote stays the same you don’t need to code new keys. Just put the new blade into your old key
I know this is an old vid, but very helpful, also my key sometimes won’t start the car, key is very worn. Would it be a case of getting a decent key cut? Or will barrel need replace/repair? Is this something you guys can do. Thanks
Hi Leon It depends on the problem you have. If you have a key that is getting stuck in the lock, then getting a new key cut will not help you, in fact it will make things worse. If you need help, please give us a ring on 01522 514141 tomorrow and we'll give you advice
Hi, gr8 video. my central locking not working and think its related to the steering lock.. Thinks key is still in ignition. What's the easiest fix for this,thanks
this can be fixed easily without the ignition to be removed. The fault is caused by the dust flap wearing to a point that matches the grove on the key. once it picks up o. the key it deflects downward onto the key increasing the resistance. 1. if the key is stuck it can be released with a small screw driver to lift the dust flap off the key. push it in and pull back on the key. 2. To fix use a small flat needle file, use the edge to wear away the point on the dust flap inside the ignition barrel. if the file gets stuck use a small screw driver or flat piece of metal to lift the dust flat. it took me about 15 mins with this method to completely cure the problem without removing the lock.
This is interesting, thanks for sharing it. We've seen lots of files stuck in the ignition, when they've been posted to us for us to fix. If you've fixed your own without replacing all the worn parts, you've saved some money, well done
Thank you I used a file as so expertly described and fixed my nissan. The secret is like you say to use a small file and grind off with the edge the spike.. not to use a file the size of the key as that will get stuck and may brake off
@@TheCarKeyMan Had a key man out, couldn't solve it. Turns out it was the barrell after all. Wasn't locking the pin when pulling the key out of ignition. I'm assuming the car thought the key was still in ignition hence not being able to lock or open with fob. Thank you for getting back to me. Top man👍👍👍👍
I have a nissan note with a key that often refuses to turn. How much should i expect to pay to have this fixed? Any ideas if i could just replace the barrel and key?
OK, we charge £180 for a full repair by post. If you need help take a look at our webpage with all the questions you may have thecarkeyman.co.uk/nissan-ignition-key-stuck-repair-service/
I just had the same issue! Replaced with a second hand part ignition turned up but engine wouldn't turn. Swapped the keys onto my old fobs and works just fine Hope this helps 🙏
Is the transponder lead the source of the remote unlocking fob? Just had mine repaired and both fobs not working now, cannot be both batteries dud surely
The key was sticking and eventually would not turn at all. Repaired by a so called vehicle locksmith. Ignition works but now cannot lock the vehicle. New batteries in fob. Removed transponder lead as per telephone conversation last night, but to no avail
Hi Philip. Ok, so there are a couple of things that may have happened. The thing that causes the key to stick is known as the 'dust cover' It gets worn and grabs the key. Unfortunately, this isn't the purpose of the faulty part part at all, it is not there to keep the dust out. It has two jobs. Firstly it prevents the central locking coming on when the key is in the ignition. You should not be able to put the central locking on with the key in the ignition lock. Can you? Secondly, the small widget inside also is used to tell the car that the central locking is allowed to work, by way of a small micro switch. There are some auto locksmiths simply removing this important part of the lock. It takes away the sticking key problem but creates the two problems mentioned. Has the part just been taken out?
Hmmmmm all very complicated and I trusted a family friend to carry out the work at a cost of £200 which I aim to recover somehow. I think the only way is for me to get a replacement from you and fit it, following your wonderful instructions in the video above. I may need to pay you the deposit as I still need my car and return the faulty one on completion.
Key goes in and out of the barrel but won't turn. The Push-button is also stuck and not coming out. Can I change the barrel with a second-hand one? Or what solution will you recommend, and how much should I expect to pay to have this fixed??

Hi Monna, thanks very much for the feedback :)
So you're not disconnecting the battery for this? great video. thank you for the help
No, I've done hundreds and never needed to
Hi, if we r replacing the whole mechanism with a used one ,should we swap the immobiliser antenna as well ?
Hi if you replace it with a new ignition barrel do you need to get a new key and have it programmed
Thanks great vid

matty00w1 THANK you sir! Fixed mine! Panics for a moment as I used a file same size as the key. Use a small flat file.
Where can i get a new set of shear head bolts from please and any specs to go with them if i have to find some . Thanks
Hi, Nissan sell them
Great video worked a treat follow it carefully you can’t go wrong 5*****
Thank you :)
Hey there, i removed the ignition and open it and there is a small spring falling out, can you tel me where it is positioned please?
Great video, what size are the shearing bolts for replacement? Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching, as far as I remember they are M8 bolts
Grat video, thank you.
You're welcome Fouad, glad it heped you :)
very helpful video... Thank u so much.
You're very welcome :)
Can I just replace the barrel and transplant immobiliser onto the new one without any problems?
Hello, yes just unscrew the fob from the old blade and attach it to the new blade.
Anyone know what length the bolts are? They're the 8mm (M8) type but can't tell what length before I take them out.
Hi, the thread is 19mm long
Just a question, would the ignition barrel have "ANY" effect on key fob. Can't get key to sync with car to open and lock
Hi Kyle, if the barrelis faulty, then yes, it will stop the buttons working. Give us a call if you still need help

hi have fitted a second hand ignition supplied with two fob keys ,everything switches on but not turning engine over to start,any ideas ?
Hi John. When have you fitted the second hand ignition? Was it running before with the old ignition?
Might need to put the immobiliser chips from the old key to the new ones.
Think I have the same issue.
I just had the same issue!
Replaced with a second hand part ignition turned up but engine wouldn't turn.
Swapped the keys onto my old fobs and works just fine
Hope this helps 🙏
Is the transponder lead the source of the remote unlocking fob? Just had mine repaired and both fobs not working now, cannot be both batteries dud surely
Hi Phillip. When you say you had them repaired, what was wrong with them before?
The key was sticking and eventually would not turn at all. Repaired by a so called vehicle locksmith. Ignition works but now cannot lock the vehicle. New batteries in fob. Removed transponder lead as per telephone conversation last night, but to no avail

Does the steering lock come on when the key is in the ignition? Can you see the dust cover in the lock?
Thank you a lot
you're welcome, thanks for watching :)
Key goes in and out of the barrel but won't turn. The Push-button is also stuck and not coming out. Can I change the barrel with a second-hand one? Or what solution will you recommend, and how much should I expect to pay to have this fixed??
Hello, so is yours a proximity key? Do you normally have the key in your pocket?
@@TheCarKeyMan It's a proximity key, but I never used it. Have been using the actual
key
Nissan qashqai 2009. Fob not working only to start the car. Other functions work perfectly
Hi, did you sort this out in the end?
@@TheCarKeyMan no sir, waiting for your reply
My key goes in and out of the barrel but won't turn. Can I change the barrel with a second hand one?
Hi Dal, yes you can, but you'd be better off getting the old lock fixed
I thought if I changed the whole barrel with the black box it would work (new keys). I was wrong.
Great video but needs more info on the key reader!
Hi Darren, what info do you think needs to be in the video please?
This shows the previous version Qashqai the J10.
Hi, we just showed the model we see lots of problems with.
why can you buy replacement shear head bolts from? A car spares shop and a builders merchants didnt sell them or know what they were
Nissan sell them
What size are the shear head bolts?
for my qashqai they were 8mm so probably for you car they would be the same
my bueno
You're welcome :)
