Just arrived home after a lovely weekend. When pulling into the drive I noticed that the jockey wheel was loose. On further inspection the actual wheel has broken loose from the holding and all the plastic has cracked. Thus meaning I can't use my mover or wheel the van into position.
Can I just fit a new wheel if my corner steadies are down and why did this happen in the first place.

Try Machine Mart (they have a website) they do wheels only for jockey wheels should be a simple enough job to swap over. Yes you could level off the van and put down the corner steady's for doing this job. Not sure why it would have happened unless the wheel it the ground during towing? But noticed your van is a 2013 model check and see if it could be replaced under warranty.

Look on the www.towsure.co.uk site,think they just sell wheels.check screw as it sound like it has unwound itself in transit.
