I had the exact same problem as warpug, both with lowering the arm and tipping the bucket (or raising, can't remember) - both worked fine in the other direction. Mine was a build problem, though, my LA's weren't completely lined up. When I removed them and very carefully reinstalled them, making sure they were exactly aligned this time, the problem disappeared. I've since motorised it, and everything still works smoothly (in both directions). However, my 8265 had two other issues, this time unrelated to my own clumsiness (I think), and while reading this topic I was wondering if anyone else experienced them - and if so, hoping I can be of some help in fixing them. Firstly, the steering mechanism: in instruction step 49.6, a non-friction pin is used to connect the yellow 13 beam to the black L-shaped beam. However, when steering my loader completely to the left, the bottom of that pin always got stuck in the right most hole of the yellow 7 beam below it - causing a noticeable snapping sound and jerking motion on the subsequent right turn (due to the bottom of the pin pushing itself free from that hole). I solved this by switching the non-friction pin with a dark stone 3/4 pin, with the short side at the bottom (in the yellow 13 beam). This would not normally connect the yellow and black beams together firmly while still allowing them to move across the joint freely, but because the whole construction rests on that yellow 7 beam, there is no risk of the two beams disconnecting. As an added bonus, my 8265 had an extra one of those 3/4 pins, so I didn't have to use a different box to solve my problem. Hope that made sense. The second problem I had is much simpler to explain:the black friction pin from step 12.3 caused a bit too much friction, resulting in a squeaking noise every time I turned the loader. So I just replaced it with the non-friction pin I took out when solving the previous issue, which solved it. I hope that was of some help to someone.
