[QUOTE="JanKing, post: 189003, member: 187187"] I finally checked the motor out with another receiver and had the same negative result. In the end I purchased another motor (Technomate this time for the sake of being able to argue compatability with my receiver if further probs arose). This arrived today - up it went - on with the power and back in business. Fantastic! CONCLUSION (hopefully no further update will be required!). Original motor would recover if left off power for significant periods of time. (eg. long enough for Maplins tech department to declare it OK after a week and for it to work for an evening when it returned home) It was taking the mickey big-time!! :-rofl2 I don't know if there are capacitors or something similar in the motor controls but it was if it failed when on power for a period and would 'drain' over time if off. Anyway a conclusion at last and maybe a pointer to anyone else with similar unresolved issues. 212 of you had looked in on this so even if 1 of you is helped it would be worth all the hassle I've had! JK (off to play!) [/QUOTE]
