Sounds like you need to check your trailer plug wiring particularly the joint between wire and brass connector - they do come loose with usage - screwfix do replacement plugs for a few pounds

Many thanks, just been out to try it again but not.much difference. Could it be down to water in the electrics as it was throeing it down this morning when I was hooking up, using it etc. |

Yeah could well be that - the plug comes apart very easily usually there is a screw at the base where the cable enters - unscrew that then gently prise the two halves of the plug casing part - there will be some sort of plastic lug holding them together - then you can see the electrical joints and brass pins - if its wet it should be obvious.

It is outside when not in use to be honest. I noticed it as soon as I unplugged the electrics and reversed the motor into the drive. I'm hoping the socket is wet due to the trailer plug and will dry out the car socket and everything will be back to normal - in an ideal world !!!! |

You could try disconnecting your battery and let the can system reset it has worked on a few gremlins I have had on mine costs nothing and well worth a try. Understeer when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
