Removed my Qashqai lock barrel following the advice given here. Posted the item at midday Thursday and received the refurbished unit back in time to refit before midday Saturday following the second part of the video. Lock and new keys working fine now. A 48hour turnaround! Fantastic service and l was phoned for an update and how to pay before it was returned. Wonderful service and l highly recommended. Thanks KK

Here in US, there is no one selling that part separately. Here, we get most aftermarket parts from ASP, in Europe, they also have OYSTER, of Spain. A new cylinder CARTRIDGE is the solution. ASP P/N C16-133 and similar. By replacing the cartridge within the old housing, you get a complete, not worn down cylinder. Rekey to match OE code, and cut fresh keys to that code. This also alleviated the problem of the key STOP material in the lock that is likely worn down. Excellent video showing the failure point, so I thought adding a solution would pay it forward. I was so happy to seen Nissan/Subaru get rid of that key design. The new version is far less prone to keys broken in the ignition, though they do wear down fast. I used to excesize patience extracting tips of keys, providing they were not pushed back to the hollow slot in rear of cylinder!

Nice to see professional information on you tube instead of the usual rubbish as the man says its the steering lock trigger not a dust cover and requires a proper repair, great video as are your others.

Hi I have the problem that the steering lock is activated at 0 and not when I pull my key out. Can this problem be fixed with this repair method ? I have a micra k12 from 2004.

Hi, thanks for the very instructive video. My key (Qashaqai 2009) gets stuck in the lock sometimes and the problem is getting worse. I have a couple of questions. 1.Assuming the lock has been worn away, which I believe mine has, and you need a new "lock stock and barrel" do you also need new keys, and the cars central locking alarm etc to be reprogrammed 2.Do you also need locks for those doors / boot with key operated locks? Regards

Hi, My Mum has this problem on her 2009 Nissan Note. Can I bring her car to you for the lock fix? Or do I need to remove the ignition barrel & just bring/send that to you?

Hi, my qashqai 09 plate doesn't lock when using the key pad, it makes the locking sound and light flash but car remains open, if I lock the door with the key in the door the slight knock to the key will unlock the car. What could this be please

Hello I would like to ask where I can find to buy this part?

I have just purchased a qashqai and the steering lock does not work, and neither does central locking, I have just purchased the little dust cover/steering lock mechanism off ebay, if I get a good auto lock smith, would they be able to just replace that part, and then be all good? I wanna tackle it myself but don't know how to dissemble to barel but that you guys refurbished, thanks

hello i have a kia ceed 2010 in which the mechanism for the steering lock doesnt engage when i pull out the key from the ignition. Have to give a little tap at the bottom of the steering wheel which makes the popping sound with which the steering lock engages. The disadvamtage of this is that the car thinks that the keynis still in the ignition so my remote control of the car wont work. I tried lubricating the cylinder with liquid grease sprey and wd40 but it didnt work. Does somebody have any suggestions? Thanks im advance.

For the central locking, you can work this around by unplugging the steering lock trigger harness. However, now you can lock the doors with the car's CL button even with the ignition on (at least on a '12 Qashqai), which brings the risk of locking the keys in the car

Dear Sir, my car is nissan almera luxury 1.5 2001 model. my car ignition switch also has same problem. Car is working fine but key is pull out very easily during car works. And also when i stop car engine, when i push key lock button car never lock doors. If i replaced that small part , is that enough for fix problem? thank you for helping.

Can you write the instructions into the description?

Where can I get a replacement key blade?

Hi how do I get in contact with you as I have a note with this issue

Dlaczego nie pokazałeś, jak wyciągasz wkładkę? To jest najważniejsze w tej naprawie. Tajemnica???

Hi In my city there is no one who would repair my ignition switch (Győr, Hungary) could you please tell me how to remove the lock itself from the housing? my key is really hard to remove, and the T shaped part which turns the ignition is also broken, now I can start the engine with a screwdriver... But I don't know how to remove the lock from the housing, my other choice is to replace the whole housing with lock to a used one, but I don't want to drill out the original piece, because I have limited number of tools. I would appreciate your help. (my car is 1999 Primera p11 before facelift, but he lock seems same) Lot of thanks

Hi Really love your work! Great videos to help with remote batteries too! We have been locksmithing since 1996 and have always done bench repairs and key curting on ignition and door locks. We struggle to get the spare trigger with this Nissan lock problem. Just wondered if you could help us? Kevin.
