[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 983484, member: 323322"] After I'd posted, I checked your likely Longitude is over 4 deg E, so the E/W substitution error would have been over 8 deg and therefore could be ruled out. As for the Lat/Long mix up, simple logic might indicate a link on the basis that it worked before that episode but not after. However, I can't close the loop, as it were, unless the motor was damaged in the process, because in general terms misbehaviour can be corrected by resetting the motor and you say you did that. I do wonder, however, if perhaps the dish has slipped or even twisted slightly on the motor stub. One last point - when you say you reset the motor, what exactly did you do? ie Did you drive it to Reference using the Receiver or did you stick a pin up the hole in the Motor body? "Reset" can be a slightly ambiguous word ...... [/QUOTE]
