Before it went up it was checked BUT and here's the thing it was banging
against the guttering so I wonder if its burned out. I think the odds were
against me though 2 faulty boxes and a motor. The second box he said had
USALS and it didnt when I got it home, Software onboard was 2001 if I
remember correctly.

Anyway I am ordering from Wizard after advice from here. Not going to bother
eith eBay to save a few quid will go to a proper shop. Lesson learned

maplins were god in the end, just got a short tempered assistant
