Loud noises and newbies dont mix.
Ok, second trip out with van, pulled onto a CC site with a interesting dipped entrance (Normanshurst Court in Battle) and the loudest graunching/creaking noise came from car.
I was almost sure I had snapped a rear spring, booked in, chose pitch and went to set up, car sounded awful, motor moved into position and set up, had drink, slept on it, called breakdown next morning.
Guy came inspected car, nothing wrong, looked at caravan, nothing wrong, so it was agreed that we would try getting van home and call for assistance if any probs.
On way home towed fine until cornering, was convinced it was tow bar, until I got wife to move it left and right on drive, yes as you all know its the pads on the alko stabiliser, did some reading on here and that confirmed my fears. Popped them out and the surface is cracked on both, simple but omg what a noise from tiny little pads. Anyway has anyone got a prefered place for getting theese? its the AKS 2004/3004 red capped ones, looked on ebay looking at around £25.
