If it's under warranty send it back.

Thanks mate. I think it's out of warranty now. Not sure what to do. I think when I have finished imaging in this beautiful weather, I might pull it apart and at least investigate. If it looks too hard to do, I will leave it alone. If it is reasonably simple I will seek more advice, maybe give it a go and post a tutorial on it if appropriate.
Thanks for your input David.
