Hiya Paul,did you buy the Beet used? If so the previous owner may have put the wrong layshaft/diff gear on! You'll have to count the teeth on both,if your one tooth out this will stop the gears meshing correctly.
When I was on about moving the engine forward/backward just slacken the screws off and you should have about 3-4mm of play in the mesh.If this doen't work the ia a discrepency in the teeththey need to be evenly matched.i'll see if I can find the factory standard gear teeth numbers.

There ya go mate,its the instruction manual for the pro beet, your proper teeth numbers should read 14T layshft gear and 48T diff.
hope that helps.

Or,easy version ,loosen the engine screws on the chassis and pull the motor back towards the diff then tighten,it should eliminate the wear correct the mesh.
