I got Xantia keys cut in the St Andrews branch of Timpsons a few years ago. I think it was Timpsons anyway, it was the one opposite Madras. I had a bit of trouble convincing them I didn't need a transponder key (the car had a keypad) but the actual cutting part was no problem.

I can only suggest that you try the Master Locksmith Association to see if they have a member near to you that can help.

Happened to be Timpsons in St Andrew on saturday as it happens. No fair dos as in the 'broath he said nuh. Bummer as they say they can do car keys and Citroen ones but it seems they cant.

Will try master locksmith. Wanted before lomg journey. Never happy with only one key waiting to get lost while away abroad.

Hi boristhe pie,

A slight aside :!:

You have been asking about a garage with good knowledge of C5s.

Try this independent who originally started out with western citroen in Edinburgh.

Citroen servicing @ 19 Arthur street,Edinburgh.

Tel No 0131 554 4141.

They maybe able to tell where you can source a key and someof your other problems.
