oderuyter Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Had my phone and car keys stolen last night, and lovely people at Nissan want to lighten my wallet to the tune of £777 to change the lock set on the Zed - I should think 666 would be more appropriate! Oh and the kicker, need to wait 3-4 weeks for the lock set to arrive! Rant Over, thanks for listening! Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 What that is ludicrous..HOW MUCH...Can you not just get the key number and get one cut and recoded...?? Quote
coldel Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 You could still physically open the car though couldnt you? Can't remember but isnt there a key entry under the drivers side handle? Quote
oderuyter Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 no, its the full lock set - not just the key. If i had just the key done they would still be able to get in the car and rob it blind and/or hotwire it. Considering they have my phone aswell (with my address on it) I'm not taking the chance. GRRR Quote
Lexx Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Can you not just get the key number and get one cut and recoded...?? Someone would still have a working key to his car though..... I agree the price is ridiculous. I would speak to ZMANALEX/Clark Motorsport and see if they have a full set of locks/keys/ignition from a breaker. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 What that is ludicrous..HOW MUCH...Can you not just get the key number and get one cut and recoded...?? still the same key and someone else has one would it not be cheaper to pm zmanalex, he maybe be able to help with locks and an ignition barrel, not sure if the zed has an encoder ring ? I'm sure Alex can help though Quote
coldel Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah the stealers are going to be top $ worth having a punt around on here first See, I really do think we need a 'venting forum' Quote
AliveBoy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 That sucks! Something I'd REALLY recommend for future, I have key insurance as part of my main car insurance policy, its £3 or something a month more. If my keys get lost or stolen they'll replace my car, house and if required work keys with no excess. Ask Elephant about it Quote

oderuyter Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 thats why I have to go through the robbing b'stards - Its on the key insurance, but still annoys me that i have to cough out the funs, then fight to get it back. Quote

Oh really? Damn, sorry! I'll bear that in mind. Do you have somewhere else you can keep the car to avoid it being at the home location? Quote

Yes' of course Lexx..Note to myself "engage brain before posting" .. :surrender: Quote
oderuyter Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 I live on a farm, and there is some CCTV, I can easily put another camera up on that side of my house so will relocate one tonight. Grr just gets you so annoyed! And yes I agree a venting forum is a good shout! Quote
bamdc2 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Check you home insurance mate, you make have a section on replacement keys and these costs could be picked up under the policy. Quote
bamdc2 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 scrap that, I missed the post on key insurance!! sorry I will go back in my box! Quote
M13KYF Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 defo worth trying if Clark Motorsport can get them cheaper but you would still require someone to do the installation and paring of keys with the NATS Quote
oderuyter Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 have to get done at main dealer due to insurance stipulations - just wanted to share the joys i'm going through and a word of warning not to loose or have your keys stolen Quote
