Recently had to put a new stabiliser bar attachment on the back of our Land Rover Discovery (due to me not taking the red screw out over the winter and thus it became stuck, after trying to get it to shift nothing but nothing worked so large hammer and a drill, long story but had to get a new one fitted argggghhhhh) Caravan retailer kindly did the job but now when pulling our caravan under slow speed it creaks and groans like something not right, has anyone any ideas how I can get around this.

jkeg it sounds like there is dust off the friction pads, it just needs dissembling and cleaning. From the sounds of it you've got a Bulldog Q200, see Here for a full set of instuctions
