Believe me...it's a whole lot noisier than that now! But it's not the end of the world providing the chain hasnt slipped which I don't believe mine has - it's still happily...ish running on 8 it's just noisy. It's just a pretty time consuming job not to mention the cost of the parts required....oh and the proper tools which I've just purchased too.

Nope, hadnt touched it. I don't believe it's that thats failed though - I think the plastic parts of the guides have snapped off.
