Danny your new home seems to be near the:
Bundeswehrfachschule, Kardorfer Straße, Cologne, Germany
which if copied and pasted into the search box of,
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps
does indeed reveal the Hitzelerstrasse, but no Big Red Lanes, numbered 3 or otherwise.
The satellite button does reveal the park though, but unfortunately the little yellow man gives no street view of Germany, or at least not this part of it anyway. Can you nonetheless spot your roof, as you did at Hayling Island, or has it been swept away since?
We never got to see your home at Heerlan, but here at least is some information about the town, and the Google Maps little yellow man at least strides helpfully throughout Holland.

Re your Peugeot 403, could the reason that the Smiths-Jaeger system did not last very long be that it was electrical in operation as well as being controlled? I'm sure that I am not alone in having been driven to near despair as I tried to trace and cure intermittent (as they invariably are) electrical faults on my various cars. Now all that is compounded by the ever increasing use of electronics, which effectively cuts DIY diagnosis out of the loop completely, and you are left to the tender mercies of the experts who perfect the age old habit of sucking the breath in through their teeth before pronouncing that, "Well, it won't be cheap, I'm afraid".
