Hi please could you help my son please. He has got so far with this set and now he is stuck. I have attached photos. The cream wheel thing is too far away and the two parts don't go together. I am not sure where he has gone wrong. Sorry I can't describe the parts well. Thanks. Sorry I can't attach photos. I took.one with Flickr and it says it is too big.

What?

I've built the set with all the functions working, so I could help you.

In what number bag is he stuck?

[dmansisman]

Hi. It was bag number 3. He has done the front and the back bit but he can't connect them. There is a gap and he can't get that creamwheel thing to connect to front part. I don't know why I can't upload aphoto- I took.one with Flickr nut it says it is over 100k. Tbankyou

Can you tell us the page number and the step number in the instructions which shows where these two parts should come together? Or can you provide a text link to your picture?

Hi. We have just managed to figure it out. He had used the wrong length part way back in the instructions. Thankyou for your replies everyone. Much appreciated.

If you're referring to one of the axles, the book shows pictures of them at actual size so all you have to do is to hold the axle up against the page to make sure it matches the length. This should help your son avoid the issue in the future :-) And I know the axle lengths at a glance but I still hold them up to it to make sure I grabbed the right one.
