Sorry to say It's a common fault and caused by abuse of the self leveling system.

The tilt spool rod will be sticking in the spool block. As it's a solid cast block not bolted in sections you will have to buy a whole new spool block which is approx £2000 to £2500 plus vat depending which version is on it.

I've sold a few of them now

Hi ace thanks for the assistance. Just so I can understand better are you definitely referring to the ram that tilts the forks carriage
Where is the spool block located on a 627 ?
