I am happy to see you got a good final result on this, well done I am well chuffed for you. My update so far, I called a mechanic to see if they could remove the ignition for me, they said no it would be an auto locksmith. Spoke to the locksmith and explained what I wanted and he said no he...

Not yet, been on my hols but back now so looking to get a mechanic to remove the ignition for me as I don't have the tools or the time to do it myself at the minute and then I will send it off to the locksmith and keep my fingers crossed.

I spoke to the locksmith that you used today and they have agreed to take a look at mine for me so once I get it taken off I can post it to them. If that doesn't work then at least I know that I have exhausted all possible options.

Yes I have tried graphite powder and compressed air and silicone lubricant and carb cleaner. And yes I can lock unlock the car and the central locking works fine. I have put a new battery in the key fob though, just in case that was the issue.

Can't turn the key out off the lock position. Several people have tried doing the whole turning the steering wheel and the key at the same time with obviously no result. This only happened to me when I changed the battery on the car (coincidence maybe?) which is so frustrating. I have the...

I only have a service manual, is that the one that I need?

Mine is also 2006 so it sounds the same ignition. When you ask if I have a manual do you the transmission or like a Haynes manual? I can be handy with spanners if needed but I don't have a multimeter (would get one if it could help me) so I have no idea what I would need to do. I am not getting...

Hi, could I ask what year your K12 is please? The reason for my question is that my ignition just won't turn with or without the key so I cannot release the steering lock and I have tried every tip suggested online but am still no further forward in resolving my issue. I have contacted a local...

Update - Still no progress. I called a mechanic who didn't seem very knowledgeable and said he would just squirt WD40 into it. I called another mechanic who instantly said that I needed a new ignition barrel. He contacted Nissan to find out they no longer sell this part and as he won't deal in...

Thank you for your response. I was really hoping that there was some kind of trick I had missed here but sadly not. I only have one key for the car and it comes out of the ignition with ease. I called a mechanic and he said that he would probably just spray WD40 into the ignition although I...

Happy New Year folks. I have a 2006 Nissan Micra K12 automatic. I have put a new battery into my car (I had an accident with the old battery when I took it out to charge it as I don't drive my car nearly as much as I should hence this being a brand new battery). When I tried to start the car...
