[QUOTE="RichardUK, post: 758593, member: 332058"] Turns out that either the plastic drive gear has got bigger, or that the hole in the frame through which the drive gear must be passed through to engage the teeth has got smaller. Just putting the drive gear in place on it's own without the motor makes the disk very difficult to move, even when trying to move the dish by it's edge. Its the same story with some spare drive gears I have. Unbelievably it looks like the hole in the base of the frame has got smaller, causing the gear to cease and the motor to burn out. Unfortunately I only discovered this after purchasing a new motor and a new V-Box, and yes the new motor has now also been burnt out. [/QUOTE]
