Went to swap the wife’s wheels over to the summers...two down then I went to the first that the dealer had the brakes done on...rounded they key and ended up on my ass (no doubt rattled up with the air gun ass****).

Anyway, was gonna try a new key and an air wrench but dealers are all shut and none for my code on eBay.....any other thoughts on where to get a new key before I start hammering sockets on.

Give Glyn Hopkins (0044(0)1708 772866) a Try they normally have a large selection of Keys available. There is a wide variety of Keys and I believe you will need a Key No. or visit a Nissan Dealer. It makes me cringe sometimes when you see these tools being used especially if they are not square on the key - Dave 😉

Sorry, did not realize it was an emergency. What are the options left then - wait, or try AA / RAC or other Breakdown Service but I would imagine they also need the Key or No - Dave 😏

She’ll need to use my car so it’s an emergency in my world 😂.

No-one knows when places that are shut will start trading again and I’d rather not be down a car for an extended period if I can.

I saw a good youtube vid on this the other day, worth searching for and watching, it all depends on the type of locking nut you have as to what's the best option.

Everyone loves an update....

Tried with a buzz gun and current key but it wouldn’t shift...on the plus side it wasn’t jumping off so enough bite left on the key.
A phone call later and my friendly mobile tyre fitter guy arrives with his 900lb buzz gun....same deal...loads of noise and no movement.
Fast forward 5 minutes with him banging on the locker key with a rather large hammer while I’m pulling On a breaker bar and boom...off she comes.
Rinse and repeat on the front and job done.

Guy says they had been rattled up good and proper with an air tool....and that someone should have got their books for that.

Anyway lockers in the bin and replaced with standard lugs to prevent future garage carnage. Thanks everyone who chimed in.
