That's great, but this car does have one. I ended up removing the passenger door handle just to check. Nothing there.

Weird that mine doesn't have that and it's a 2003 model. Stranger still was even though we tried clicking from the inside the locks are completely electronic so only until the power is on can you open the doors from the inside

Maybe but the door and the handle look like original parts that have never been removed. It's really strange

I am going have to go to town on it and go at it from the inside to see.

Can you all stop showing me the same clip, lol.

I know your trying to help but I guess you have read the thread. My car does have any sign of of a lock on the passenger side door.

There is no padlock symbol or circle.

I guess Nissan dealer is the way forward.

I have looked in too many manuals and got no where.

Thanks for all your answers, I will keep you updated.

A 2003 Almera is worthless. A Nissan dealer will want possibly £200 just to look at it.

My guess is the car has been crashed at some point in its long past and been repaired on the cheap with non standard parts for that model.

May be tine to say farewell to it unless you can find a bloke in the pub who is an ex Nissan technician with some knowledge.

Tie a bit of coat hanger wire to the bonnet release and locate it hidden but somewhere you can get to it later eg between the bonnet and the frame (valance is it called?) or in the grille. Then you can charge the battery. Nobody else will know it's there.
