Up until my mare got injured and got PTS last June, my Ifor 401 had been in regular use every weekend. Then got my new mare last August and trailer was fine and did not travel anywhere as wanted her to settle in, etc. Since November, my trailer has developed a problem where the nearside front wheel does not turn at all, forwards or backwards. Even dragging it out with the car and rocking it back and forth. The YM's husband services trailers and had the wheel off and had a look and said that the brake had seized up as I hadn't been using it and managed to sort it out. He said for me to take it on a run every week and that when I bring it back home and go to park it, to reverse it with the car into position and then pull it forward again so that the brake comes off and then push it back by hand. I never put the handbrake on either.
I've been doing this religiously every weekend since then to keep trailer ticking over but last weekend, my car was poorly and so was I, so couldn't take it out. Now this morning when I've tried to take it on a run, it's well and truly stuck again. The YM's husband was not there today for me to ask but has anyone had this happen with their Ifors? I'm annoyed as shows are going to start soon.
Does anyone reckon the underside needs stripping down maybe? (I know nothing about cars and mechanical things. It's a late 2003- early 2004 build.
