About the Nissan Cabstar and its keys
Cabstars are tough vehicles and many are still working long after they were built. Their key depends on the year and specification, which we confirm from the registration.
Lost Nissan Cabstar keys
If the Cabstar has no working key, send the registration, year and location so we can check first.
Spare Cabstar keys
A spare key is especially useful on a shared tipper or dropside. If one key still works, it is usually the simpler job.
Cabstar remote keys and programming
Cabstars are often older working trucks with simple keys. If you need a replacement or remote, send the registration and year so we can check what applies. See van key programming.
Lockouts and damaged Cabstar keys
A worn Cabstar key can snap or stop turning in the door. Tell us which lock is affected and whether a spare exists. See keys locked in a van.
Cabstar ignition problems
Older Cabstars can develop a key that is hard to turn, which can be down to a worn key blade or wear in the mechanical barrel rather than the electrical switch. If the key turns but the truck will not start or power is lost, the switch may be at fault — or the battery or wiring — so we diagnose first. See Nissan van ignition replacement.
Where we attend
We attend Cabstars at yards, depots and homes around Eastleigh. See all areas covered.
What we need for a quote
- Registration and year of your Cabstar
- Where the van is located
- The type of key you have (or had)
- Whether a working key remains
We confirm compatibility for your specific van before arranging a visit — not every year or variant is suitable.

Nissan Cabstar key questions
My Cabstar has a tipper body — does that matter?
The ignition key relates to the base vehicle. Let us know about any additional locks.
Is the Cabstar the same as the NT400 Cabstar?
They are related, but listed separately. We confirm the key from the registration and year.
