I have a new Westfalia tow bar with a special key with a red knob on the end. This does not fit onto a key ring so I am sure it will get lost sometime. So I thought I would buy a replacement. I have found a company that wants £19.75 for a replacement so thought I would have a standard type key made. However, the number on the original key is different from that on the barrel. Have any of you come across the same problem? Assistance greatly appreciated.

We have just bought a Volvo V50 and we need a tow bar fitted. the Garage that sold the car to us gave us a Westfalia detachable towbar that they'd taken off another car and forgot to put it back on and now cant remember what car it was, but as soon as we said we had to get a tow bar fitted, they gave us that one. It has no key. I am guessing I can use the number on the barrel? And then I shall sell it. Are they a pretty universal fit?? We know it don't fit our volvo as it doesn't appear to have the cross bar fitted for the Westfalia to fit into. I was hoping to flog it and put towards the cost of a towbar.
