    Check threads on crank, new nut, are you fitting it on properly? Pulling the belt into the centre of the clutch running the belt high on the variator?

    Check the splines inside the fixed vario half.
    If they've started to strip it will clog up the splines on the crank and not fit tight.
    Which in turn will cause slipping on acceleration, totally strip out the fixed half, and eventually knacker the crank splines.
    And those fixed halves ain't too cheap for a decent one.
    Don't even start me on the cost of a new crank........................
