[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 522983, member: 183150"] I like the Fibo motor, it is much better quality than most. :) Can you see where the play is, is it between the nylon cog and the diecast gear, or is it inside the motor itself. The most common cause is overdriving the dish at the end of it's travel, or hitting an obstuction like the wall, this causes the drive pin to bite into the nylon cog and possibly bend the pin. This then gives some backlash/play in the drive train. The motor itself has a backlash adjustment intenally, but this rarely needs adjusting, unless badly set up in the first case. If you PM me we can sort the backlash and the reed sw. out. :) [/QUOTE]
