........ to finish this off. It turned out to be the fuse on the main bank of relays on the motor board. I thought that this would have had to be working, but alas, it wasn't. Thanks to Graham from up Newcastle way, who took fully tem minutes to work it out and Bingo.... all rockin' again. Still amazed at my own limitations with these machines. Cheers, and thanks to those of you who replied. Mark
