There is a guy in liverpool who is very reliable - you could post it to him - I will PM you his contact details this evening.

The problem could be something minor that you could fix yourself...

I would get the expanded diagram out carefully take the thing apart you will see the problem and fix it or see the part that needs replaicing get the number from the diagram and order it.

If you are not confident with that do the ABU people have on-line help? if so email them

You haven't loaded it with braid by any chance?

no braid just mono but i think i made a hames of it if i hold the line off the spool it will reel otherwise it wont but this is only happens during the last few yards of reeling

Croppy send it over to abu in Crewe, Bristol...

They'll give it the once over . I find them great...

I've sent two over in the past and never got charged.

You have a 1 year warranty, but if you fancy trying it yourself....
