Hi,

Just an odd bit of advice/information.

I recently had work done on my car which apparently required the towball to be removed. Not a problem as it was refitted once the work was completed. I took the horse out in the trailer today and although everything seemed fine, it was just not quite right. When we got back I realised that the towball had been replaced in higher holes than previously. I realise that I should have checked before taking the trailer out but to be honest hadn't realised that the towball had required being moved to enable the work to be done. I drive a Kia Sorento and the towbar has two sets of holes at different heights to bolt the towball to.

A Land Rover dealer fitted the fixed towhook to my Disco 3 and the clowns fitted the plate upside down. The ball was so low that the trailer's back axle would have been off the ground.
