Will give you some tips on spare keys when next we meet and have some pillow talk
Not convenient for you I know, but if you are really stuck, it might be worth calling Harrison Locks in Worcester. Paul, the owner is a motorhomer, and John (I think) is an ex automotive locksmith - used to work for Aston Martin.
They are very competent and seem to know a lot about continental locks - I had Abus deadlocks fitted by them 2 years ago.
Now this is crap timing as we are off to France on Saturday. But last weekend the key broke in half fortunately not in a lock but meant we are now using the spare. Have been to Timpsons and they say cos its German need to get a German blank one and they can cut it. Have got an alternative of going back to Lowdhams and paying an arm and a leg no doubt.
Anyone manage to get a blank German key?

Hi Greenie, I appreciate this is an old string but my spare is on the verge of splitting and I need to locate a blank. Did you resolve your problem and if so how? - ( I am not particularly interested in making a shopping trip to Calais just yet, although I will be passing through in the Spring.)
My thoughts are that if you haven't found an alternative source for blanks I will try Marcels - at worst I will end up with three locks for the fresh water tank!
Got sorted erm about two years ago now went en France to a supermarket with a key cutter. He cut two for €16 I think they fit better than the original, granted don't have deadlegs printed on them but the holdy bit is very substantial. Our water cap failed not long after now have one that just doesn't lock.
Got new gas locker lock from Towtal super service and very quick they do all things Dethleffs if you need anything.
If you can last long enough wait till France got a quote from Lowdhams for £60 for one they can bog off to that!
