I took the unit into my shed and applied direct current via a battery and just got zilch apart from sparks off the battery. Checked power to the unit earlier and that was spot on with a very light click coming from the motor.

One of the cables has the plastic sleeve cover separated from the spring that goes into the motor.

I opened up the cover of the motor and everything was well greased inside , but chickened out of going any further.

The whole thing seems locked solid , but not sure where its locked ; in the motor, or the mechanism. I'm not confident with stripping electrical stuff down to be honest .

I'll try and put up a picture later when I'm at my main computer.
