chuck69 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Good evening zeders! Not for me it ain't,i've lost my keys..doh! and have no spare(double doh!!) So how much is it going to cost me to get a new key? Quote
Ebized Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 If it a UK supplied ZED you should go to a Nissan dealer with the VIN number/proof of car ownership and hopefully they will have the key details on the database. If it is an import I'm not sure what you can do, other than ask the importer if you know who they were and if they can help you. Quote
veeg33 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I got quoted around £170 from Nissan Pentagon to duplicate a set. Quote
ianphampton Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 If it's a JDM import. . . . .what do you call it when you rotate a plane around a central axis in a helix - you're screwed. Most import cars only come with a single key and the UK dealers can't code a blank as it's a different set (or something) . They can order one from Japan, but the cost was £399 (when I enquired about 4 years ago. Ouch. Quote
chuck69 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 thanks,luckily it's not a JDM . So i wouldn't need to get a recovery truck to take it to the nissan dealer,i could just take car details is that right? Quote
Ebized Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I believe so, apart from whether there is an issue registering the key with the car's alarm/immobiliser, but why not ring them to find out for sure? Also, check your insurance - you may find the cost is covered without affecting your NCB Quote
Grundy Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 When I had my Golf, I lost my only key on the roller coaster at Thorpe Park They couldn't find it. So I called up a local lock smith specialist (local to slough) and they came out, had a computer in the back of the van, coded it all unlocked my car - £200 lighter and I could drive away. Quote

Why slough?! Thorpe Park is nowhere near slough Chertsey or stains would probably have been better Quote

chuck69 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 just phoned my local dealer in southampton £155 for 1 key (key has to be ordered 3 day wait) £51 for programming and yes they need the car because of alarm/immobiliser issues and so another £50 for a recovery truck =£256 Quote
G1uk2010 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 just phoned my local dealer in southampton £155 for 1 key (key has to be ordered 3 day wait) £51 for programming and yes they need the car because of alarm/immobiliser issues and so another £50 for a recovery truck =£256 And I bet there's no discount if you order 2. It's always worth having a spare incase the same kind of thing happens again . Quote
Ebized Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Have you checked your insurance, and don't you have breakdown cover that would save on the £50 recovery truck fee? 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 check your car insurance as above, mine includes key cover, I'm with elephant Quote
chuck69 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 I have AA,but they say they will charge me for recovery! And as for my insurance there's a £500 excess charge 1 Quote

ianphampton Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Adrian Flux have Keycare built in to their policies - and you get a special fob to put on your keyring (So if you just lose the keys somewhere there's a £10 reward to whoever hands them in or calls the 24hr number so if someone honest finds them you stand a better chance of getting them back.)
