hi. Im new to Micra.org.uk but im an member of the Almeraownersclub
I was wondering if you could help
Ive posted this thread up on the almera owners club, and i just want you opinion.
I have recently bought an old Asia Rocsta 4x4.
I hear you saying WTF is that?
check out my jonjoes beast thread for images.

Anyway when i bought it i bought it without a key, and i have been starting it with a screwdriver.
today i figured i would take the ignition barrel and a door lock down to the lock smiths near work to see if he could take apart the lock and make a new key.
He said he could with the door lock but couldnt with the ignition barrel, and the door lock key wouldnt work with the ignition barrel key because of double the amount of pins, etc. blah blah blah.
Anyway. the rocsta is made out of alot of old KIA and Mazda parts, so i figured i would pop into the KIA dealership near work. I spoke to the guy, and he said that they dont have any information there on the rocsta
as some guy has asked before, and he doesnt know about old kia stuff anyway, because the dealership used to be honda dealership.
He did say that he used to work for nissan, and that the door lock looks similar to a nissan lock, to which i then started thinking about it (having never considered the idea before) and i agree that the door lock looks like an almera lock, but neither of the barrels will take my almera key, so we kind of decided that we think there is a chance these are older nissan locks (K10 Micra age). He said that he would go home and have a look through some old nissan paperwork he has, and i said i would ask on here.
So i was hoping you lot could take a look at this and see what you think? are these old nissan locks?
Can i not post images? here is a link to the thread on the almeraownersclub
