Audi, Skoda, Seat, Volkswagen share the same igntion parts. Ignition faults on these vehicles are a frequent problem and can prevent your vehicle from starting without warning. Issues such as a key that feels stiff, won’t turn, or a steering lock that has completely failed are very common.

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.

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.
