About the Nissan Cabstar and its keys
Plenty of Cabstars still earning their keep were built years ago, and the key fitted depends entirely on that year and spec — something we confirm from the registration.
Lost Nissan Cabstar keys
No working Cabstar key left? Send the registration, year and location and we'll check things out first.
Spare Cabstar keys
A spare key is well worth having on a shared tipper or dropside — and it's usually the simpler job while one key still works.
Cabstar remote keys and programming
Older working Cabstars often run on simple key systems. If you need a replacement or remote, send the registration and year so we can check what's suitable. See van key programming.
Lockouts and damaged Cabstar keys
Years of use can leave a Cabstar key worn enough to snap or jam in the door. Tell us which lock is causing trouble and whether a spare exists. See keys locked in a van.
Cabstar ignition problems
On older Cabstars, a key that's become hard to turn is often down to a worn blade or wear in the mechanical barrel rather than anything electrical. Where the key turns but the truck won't start or loses power, the switch could be at fault — or it could be the battery or wiring — so we check properly first. See Nissan van ignition replacement.
Where we attend
We'll come out to Cabstars at yards, depots and homes across Southampton. See all areas covered.
What to send for a quote
- Registration and year of your Cabstar
- Where the van is parked
- Which key type it is (or was)
- Whether any working key is left
Compatibility is checked against your exact van before anything is booked — some years and variants fall outside what we can do.

Nissan Cabstar key questions
I've got a tipper body on my Cabstar — does that change anything?
The ignition key is tied to the base vehicle, so just let us know about any extra locks fitted.
Is a Cabstar the same thing as an NT400 Cabstar?
They're related but listed as separate models — we confirm the correct key from your registration and year.
