LOL - too true, easy to find the right one and then reverse onto the one next to it… One of the reasons I make sure to check the seal number !!!

Wo, didn’t expect this level of response to my question.
thanks for the advise and help, i’ll let you know how i get on when i do it for the first time.
my father in law has told me to carry a pair of mole grips so if the worst happens and the red line breaks, to use the mole grips to block if off, so i can still drive, all be it without any brakes on the trailer, - not sure i like the idea too much but i suppose that it would help to get me off the road and await the mechanics.

cheers for that, i’m gonna print it off and keep it with in my tacho wallet, for future reference.
