There I was being my usual congenial self (ahem) and checking out a request by someone on the forum and my ford anglia motor (that moves my dish) stopped working. Horrors, how could it, and how could I fix this. To cut a long story short, having a couple of days off this week I decided to see what had happened. Sure enough looks like (and smells like) the windings have burnt out, then I noticed a second spade connector on the side and though what is this, connected up and whey hey I'm up and running again, I was forgetting that the wiper motor was two speed and I was using the slow speed. Still I am going to get my thinking cap on and see what I can replace it with.

Why? My mind got to thinking that Topper's sat install now resembles a radar install as the dish swipes left-to-right and back again, hehe. Does your STB do this now? Just joking ;-)) .

Reminds me of when I was watching a video shot on a ferry near the radar thing and you could hear a hum in time with the radar spinning thingy....

The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Here you go Topper, a Ford Angular, sorry Anglia, 105e wiper motor & assembly, and the motor looks like the one fitted to your dish, minus the rust... 320081521061 Here's a 100e Vacuum motor for comparison: 170079374840
