Good progress
Looks like I'll be DRIVING the car to the specialist garage! Yesterday I had the sliding joint moving, it was completely stuck at first but I
used a bit extra force and now it moves fine and I can see the "unpainted narrower diameter metal shaft" that Chris mentioned. I also have
one of these big locking bolts which hold the two halves of the transmission together. So the plan is I'll just drive slowly to the garage with
the old transmission, then I'll get the damage asessed and the transmision repaired and / or replaced as needed. I should be driving home with a
good transmission in place as they will be mounting it back in the car (I think that's the sensible decision in this case). Thank you for your
help!
Cheers,
Alex

I just started reading this thread - you're having what we call in the UK "a nightmare"... good luck with it Alez. Let us know how
you get on... I'm sure you will!

Cheers, thanks for your encouragement!
I have to say I'm very happy about what I'm learning so it's not all bad. Also, consider my partner or myself could have been badly
injured, so the failure has resulted in a mild nightmare really.
I always thought there's not much to go wrong in a Locost, and still think so.
There's not a lot more to get me in BIG trouble.. maybe electrics, as I don't have any diagrams at all and the whole wiring is custom (not
a purchased loom) if I'm right, I have small boxes of fuses fastened with tie wraps here and there and all the wiring is wrapped in insulating
tape..
Whatever..

electrics
are straight forward if they have worked and you don't disconnect to much wires...
i'm now also in my loom shit..
i use only black and red as wire colours...but i put codes on them with the crimp jackets/hoses....
if it works it will work..maybe an relais will fail someday but nothing else..
its offcourse another thing if the prop will make a mess of the electrics fitted in the tunnel that could be an hell of an job...
but its not the case..
