Curtisden Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 My question concerns acquiring a spare key for my new Citroen 2015 Relay Camper. My new storage compound requires a key is retained in case of fire so they can move the van? On enquiring a Citroen key would be in excess of £300? Has anyone found a way of getting a spare key for such a new van? Any advice appreciated. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanb Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Some branches of Timpsons can copy chipped keys. Contributors to this forum have reported on successful copies being obtained via this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Peter, There is a specialist locksmith near to us in Birmingham called Duplicut who claim to be able to program keys to most trucks and vans, maybe worth giving them a call to see if they can help... http://www.duplicut.co.uk/vans.htm Keith.

colin Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 A couple of years ago when I needed a key cut for a 2011 van the local Fiat garage quoted about £300, this was queried by several people as it is believed the cost for a single non remote key should be around £120, maybe a question to Citroen UK to see if the wrong price is listed. Timpsons did ours for £40 so £300 seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Yes with regards to Timpsons, but not with the price, in fact if we had taken our key to Timpsons just a few months prior they would not have been able to do it, for exactly the same reasons they now can't do yours.
