No help from Forst really just wanted me to take the machine in, moved the sensor in no difference noticed yesterday that the rollers even go in reverse without any load going through the machine cheers

The tracking cable has a metal crimp on the end. My crimps failed so the inner cable was allowed to move when it should have stayed put when moving the tracking cable. Result being I could track one way but not the other. 

Not a big issue and sorted within 24hrs when it was under warrenty and only a couple of hours work mainly due to panel removal and cable routing. 

 

The feed roller does reverse when the button is pushed at idle.

I am having a mare with my st6p , at 40 hours the top feed roller, came out of the housing , smashed all the casings up , ripped off both pipes and landed hydraulic oil all over my customers driveway, redwood sent out a third party to fix it which they did , now at 70 hours its done the same again, great machine when working .But twice in a couple of months im having to put jobs forward because of machine issues.  i appreciate that redwood will rectify but its just the hassle that i could do without
