Akiragost Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Heya guys, I got home and left my house keys with my car keys and cobra immobiliser left in the door, I think someone stole my keys, is there anything I can do? As in make it so their keys don't work on my end. What are the suggestions and where can I get it sorted ie. new keys? Barrels? Reprogramming a new code for immobiliser? What can I do? Quote
Ebized Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Firstly don't keep the ZED at home until you have the problem sorted. Get the house lock(s) changed pronto. And contact both your home and car insurers and see what they will cover/advise. Quote
Ekona Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 If you have access to a Torx bit, remove the steering wheel. At the very least remove the battery and/or pull a coilpack. Basically anything to make it really awkward to steal. 3 Quote
wideboy Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 And/or steering wheel lock, pull ignition fuse too. Good luck! Quote
GMballistic Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 If you have access to a Torx bit, remove the steering wheel. At the very least remove the battery and/or pull a coilpack. Basically anything to make it really awkward to steal. Do all of the above if you can. Anything to protect the car from being taken. What a pita Akiragost. Fingers crossed nothing happens because of it. 1 Quote
Akiragost Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 I've removed radio, gear knob, steering wheel, battery lol where about is the ignition fuse!? It's getting dark outside lol and I thought my area was safe -_- will I need changing ignition barrels and door locks then? How much do these things cost and where to get sorted?? Is it diy able? Quote
Akiragost Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Yea house locks gonna be changed first hint in the morning! Pita lol hope things won't be too costly to rectify Quote

You might have to if you don't get your keys back. Not sure where you'd get barrels/door locks etc from other than Nissan themselves? Maybe try Clark Motorsport on here? Quote
HAMLNJ Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Take the wheels off! Lol, god ...I'd just drive it miles away and store it in a garage at a friends house. You might find some old lady turns up soon from down the road and give them back saying '' you silly numpty ! " 1 Quote
Akiragost Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Lol yeaa I was thinking to just drive it to a mates, I'm hoping the keys miraculously turn up, I don't even know if I left it in the door, just worried cos I can't find them lol Quote
Akiragost Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Can't find any info on ignition fuse, any ideas where it is guys? Quote
WhackyWill Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Instead of going to all the trouble of removing half of your car, go and spend £20 on a clamp and immobilize it. As suggested above park it at another location for a while. 1 Quote
WINKJ Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Why did you remove the radio? To stop them listening to 1xtra if they stole your z? 3 Quote
leonk Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 As everything above but regarding your front door, if it is a pvc one or one with a eurolock, you can put the key in and lock it but leave the key in the horizontal position, i.e 1/4 turn it and you can't unlock it from the outside with another key. Hope you get it all sorted. Quote
Akiragost Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 No I removed the radio so they can't steal it lol by the time I realised keys were missing, shops were closed so couldn't get a clamp =( Quote
StevoD Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Remove all 6 ignition coils that interesting one Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I'd remove the crank sensor, car makes a racket trying to start, which will wake you up and then you can go and get the keys back In all seriousness, hope everything went ok last night! Quote
WINKJ Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I have a fiver on you finding the keys and regretting dismantling your car 2 Quote
Grundy Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 If you have access to a Torx bit, remove the steering wheel. At the very least remove the battery and/or pull a coilpack. Basically anything to make it really awkward to steal. And/or steering wheel lock, pull ignition fuse too. Good luck! Just remove the Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust, everything while you're at it All jokes asides, hope no damage comes of it pal. 1 Quote
M13KYF Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 They might follow you to where your taking the car. They could be staking you out and waiting for the right moment Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 They might follow you to where your taking the car. They could be staking you out and waiting for the right moment That would be particularly bad. I lost my keys for about 6 months once, somehow they turned up INSIDE a sofa cushion Quote
Ebized Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Never a great idea to keep house and car keys together - lesson learnt for the future As regards replacement locks/keys for your ZED (if it comes to it) chances are someone like ZMANALEX on here might be able to help and he may be able to offer technical advice if you buy from him about what is necessary in making the changes.

GMballistic Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Borrow a fooking big dog and let him sleep in the car ...but what if they steal the car with the dog in it?! Quote
