Problems with a Nissan Micra "05 immobiliser?
Left the car for over a month so disconnected the battery as per the manual. When I went to start the car it was totally dead. Towed to the garage, mechanic says it's the keys - they have lost the "code" & only a Nissan dealer can re-program (closest one is in Glasgow!) ! Is this true? Can the keys be programmed w/o the…

Fine, if the train's on time. If it's late,…
