They're registered with Al-Ko Grumbleflick, if you buy a used one I think the seller needs to inform Al-Ko they've sold it but you do need to register as new owner. This is to ensure only the registered owner of the lock is provided with a key for it in the event of its loss.

If you buy a lock that doesn't fit your wheel, you can buy the correct lozenge for your wheel from Al-Ko.

I'm glad we didn't put the key for our lock in the same lace as the invoice for the caravan because we still can't find the dam thing. I reckon we'll have to ask our dealer for a copy.

Hi Grumbleflick.

We ordered at the NEC show and the best quote by far for the new van was from Derby caravan centre which i know is a fair distance from us but it was worth the travelling. So I've ordered the Al-ko wheel lock from them.

Kate we ordered at the NEC too but from reads at Leeds, we've had our van for 4 year and they offered what wr paud for it so the deal was done there and then!!
They are not iffereibg a discount in buying the lock from them that's all so wondered if you'd ordered yours from them too.
When do you get your caravan????

Thanks for replies

That sounds a great deal. We had no part exchange as its our first although we have camped for the last 14 years.We get it on 19th Feb and we cant wait.  £270 sounds a lot to me. We only phoned Derby last week and aked for the wheel lock to be added to the order and they informed us it had just gone up from £195 to £200 due to VAT increase plus that doesnt include the 5% discount they have offered us off all accessories (including the lock) we buy. Apparently Al-Ko locks are meant to be cheaper if you order it with the caravan. Does your van have the receiver already fitted? Ours does so this brings the cost of the lock down.

Yes Ours has the reciever already fitted as standard but it still is around £270!!!! And that's if I order it now with the van!
I'll keep trying but probably end up buying it if I can't get it anywhere else cheaper.
They just told me the caravan is due anytime now!!! yippeeeee we can't wait but will be upset to see the old one go.

I rang derby earlier and they said they're having trouble getting delivery on them and it would cost £245. So I rang my dealer again and this time he quoted £180 !!! I quickly placed my order with him and it should be here by next week, fingers crossed they only want £180 when I go to collect it cos that's all they getting, it's nearly £100 off my first quote with them.

Just need to count down till new caravan comes now.

Thanks everybody.
Claire
