Hi ronecc, I do this quite a lot. There's options, depending on your budget. If you're prepared to swallow it, you can replace both axles and coupling etc., but that's not an inexpensive option. There are still a few parts out there, depending on what you need and whether they're Mk1 or Mk2...

They do have a seam, but it's very minimal. Almost recessed to be honest.

Another vote for Aigle... best wellies I've owned. Can be too warm at times! Horses for courses though: weigh up how often you'll use them against the initial outlay.

equivalent to £36 a tyre: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-165R13C-96-94N-8Ply-Starco-Mastertrail-New-Trailer-Caravan-Horsebox-tyres-x4-/162646112895?hash=item25de76ba7f:g:JjIAAOSwz~VZoHjr

in that case, apologies for disparaging remarks about your brother's garage! Ignore the aspect ratio and just fit 165R13C 8 ply tyres.

stick with 165/70R13C tyres and make sure they're trailer ones. They shouldn't be big money (around £50 each) and will then last years and years. not to put too fine a point on it - don't be fobbed off with "we can't get them". 165/70R13C trailer tyres are probably the most common trailer tyre...

Excellent help, thanks for sharing. As an addition to your recommendation about putting a note on the consumer unit: many years ago I was changing an RCD in a caravan. Obviously the 240v was off and I removed the RCD. I went to get another one. In the meantime the customer was keen to show his...

try the national trailer and towing association, they might be able to assist... http://www.ntta.co.uk/ntta/trailer-insurance

great stuff :)

As a few people have suggested - you must fit trailer tyres to a trailer. Sounds pretty obvious, I know, but you'd be amazed at the amount of trailers I've serviced where they've had car tyres fitted. As popsdosh said, trailer tyres are constructed differently and have a stiffer side wall...

have you tried something like Shiply? May be worth a look.

If it's a singular brake light bulb (i.e. the side lights are separate) I'd imagine it's a 12v 21W bulb If it's a combination bulb (combined side light and brake light) then it'll likely be a 12v 21/5W bulb

Hmmm... naturally, I'd disagree with your last sentence...

They do exist, yes. We used to sell quite a few to jet ski / PWC owners. Have a look at something like this...

Couldn't agree more.
