About the Nissan Primastar and its keys
Underneath, the Primastar shares its base with the Renault Trafic. Nissan used the name on an earlier van and then brought it back later, so the year really matters when it comes to pinning down the right key.
Lost Nissan Primastar keys
No working Primastar key to hand? Send the registration, year and location through and we'll confirm compatibility before heading out.
Spare Primastar keys
Cutting a spare Primastar key while one still works can save a lot of hassle down the line.
Primastar remote keys and programming
Primastar key types change depending on the van's age. Describe the fault, send the registration, and we'll check whether a replacement remote and programming are an option. See van key programming.
Lockouts and damaged Primastar keys
Whether the Primastar's locked with the key inside or the key itself has broken, let us know what's happened and which lock is giving trouble. See keys locked in a van.
Primastar ignition problems
A Primastar key that feels stiff or won't turn tends to point towards blade or barrel wear. Where the key turns but the van won't fire up, an electrical switch fault is one possibility, though battery and wiring issues can present the same way — we diagnose before suggesting any work. See Nissan van ignition replacement.
Where we attend
We attend Primastars on driveways, streets and work sites throughout Southampton. See all areas covered.
What to send for a quote

- 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 Primastar key questions
Is the Primastar basically a Trafic?
It's closely related, yes, but that doesn't mean every key matches — we still confirm from your van's registration and year.
Do older Primastars fall within what you cover?
They're on our advertised list, but we confirm the specific vehicle before anything's booked.
