well, I've just stripped it all down and cleaning out the splines... they are a potential problem for sure. Little chinks off aluminium taken out of some of the splines and wiping of the grease reveals more metallic flakes. Will thoroughly clean and reinstall but starting to understand the drawbacks of octalink. Damn.
