RIP EXUP!

[robbo]

I literally had this exact same problem, fit everything together, the valve rotated perfectly until the bolts were tightened and then the valve was stuck in place. I believe that it was the end stops in the cover pressing down on the valve and by re-assembling with the valve in the alternate orientation the issue went away. I can only refer back to Pat's page for photo's that might demonstrate how this can happen - https://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/exup...nance.html

I just went to service mine and noticed one of the cables had snapped, no OEM replacements so went for the Wemoto SlinkyGlide ones, will post back when fitted.

Any updates on this?

Yeah, sorry forgot I said I'd update the thread. Visually cables were pretty much a match for the OEM ones, I cable tied the end of the old set to the new set and pulled them through so the routing was the same. The fiddliest bit was hooking the ends up to the servo until I figured out that once I had one cable in I had to manually move the servo so the other end could reach. I'd got the adjusters fully wound in so once fitted they just needed to be adjusted to take up the slack with the valve in the correct position and that was that. I cant speak for the longevity of the cables but they aren't under much load so I can't see that being a problem, so would happily recommend them.

Good to know re: slinky. Glad you’re all sorted??
