Looks like I'm going to have to purchase a new motor before long so any recommendations greatly appreciated. Every sat I go to I have to trim on control to get good signal. Loose movement from east to west and also up and down on motor shaft. Very annoying.

How big is the dish ?

If around the 1meter mark and you want a diseqc motor.

Go with a stabb mount. Mines done 16 years to date.

I should have said, 1metre. Just annoying I have to slightly trim in every sat thats set up. Cost is an issue, don't want to overspend. Strong winds around here at times. Have had 70-80mph gusts.

Same Here even higher winds than 70-80mph ...but do'nt buy absolute crap even IF money is an issue its just not a worthwhile idea .

buy a New Technomate TM 2600 H-H Disecq Motor
you will get it for around £42 - £45
or €64 its not hard to find one brand new for that price ,
to be honest you wont find anyone saying anything negative about this motor it really is a genuine good reliable motor and built to last years of poor weather and will drive your dish around for many a year im certain of that .
Good luck : )

This is one I was looking at and quite a reasonably priced. I'll take your advice also there was a darkmotor that I saw as well which wasn't too expensive. As long as they last say 5 years and reliable then I'm quite happy.
