Ford Transit Ignition Wont Turn
This is a common issue with Ford Transits and, in many cases, Ford Fiestas. Over time, the wafers inside the ignition barrel can wear down, causing the key to turn stiffly or intermittently. If left unresolved, the ignition may eventually fail to turn altogether.
It’s best to have the problem addressed as early as possible to avoid further damage or more costly complications.
Keys Stuck In Nissan Ignition Barrel
If you're finding it increasingly difficult to remove your key from your Nissan's ignition, it's a sign that the ignition is beginning to fail.
Left unresolved, the issue will likely worsen until the key becomes completely stuck.
We can carry out ignition repairs at the roadside, restoring smooth operation and preventing future problems with your key getting stuck. This is a common issue with Nissan Qashqai's , Nissan notes and Nissan micra's.

Needed a key desperately as mine fell apart. NJS came to my place of work and cut a new one and made sure the circuit board inside worked also. Can not give enough praise and thanks. Would totally recommend this company. Many thanks. Craig

10/10 – Highly recommended While every other locksmith in the area quoted 3–5 working days just to attempt a repair, NJS Auto resolved everything within 2 hours. Their mobile service really makes the difference. My car key had snapped in half and I couldn’t start the engine or move the car from where it was parked. NJS drove out to my location and sorted the key on the spot. The technician also kindly checked the condition of my car battery, which seemed faulty, and didn’t charge anything extra for it — a small gesture that says a lot about their professionalism and customer care.

Nick was really helpful! I was quoted stupid amounts to fix my key. He was reasonable and booked me in rather than I’ll make some calls which was what I had elsewhere. Highly recommend! A very happy customer!
