Key

ballo1000 · 25-09-2014, 15:41

Hi, I picked up the Maverick yesterday and so far I'm really pleased. I've done a bit of off-roading to check the 4wd all works as it should and no surprises. My only worry is she has only come with 1 key, does anyone know the best place to get a spare with the transponder in for the immobiliser? Thanks in advance

Somewhere like Timpsons should be able to sort you out bud, won't be cheap though due to the transponder

I got quoted £75 for a transponder key from timsons

Have had a new one cut for £3.50 on local market.
Won't start the car but at least I would be able to get in to it.

be very careful, use this key to try and start 3 times in a row no matter how short and your transponder key will be blocked, Rick

Yeah I know mate but thanks for the reminder.
My transponder key is quite worn so do really need to get a new one just incase.
My fob is goosed aswell so having to use the key to lock/unlock the truck and I've got visions of it snapping one day.
Can the transponder be removed from the old key without damaging it.just looks like it's glued in.

check with a nissan dealer as I am sure a transponder key is a lot less, Rick
