I have now managed to re-wire the motors, and it seems to run OK. It definitely runs the correct way, but whether the timing is right, I shall have to wait for some clear skies to find out. It's raining in Brisbane at the moment.

Later, I have driven it in the shed for an hour, and it has turned 1 hr on RA, so it is as good as I can expect.

In case anyone else ever has the same problem, for the Zhitong drive, the RED wire is the common wire
ORANGE is drive A
YELLOW is drive B
PINK is drive C, and
BLUE is drive D
This is for the NORTHERN hemisphere.

The sequence that seems to work for the SOUTHERN hemisphere, is to alter the connections so that the outside
RED wire is still the common wire (which does not move,) and is next to the
BLUE wire (drive D) which is next to the
PINK wire (drive C) which is next to the
YELLOW wire (drive B), which is next to the
ORANGE wire (drive A) which is the other outside wire.

Thanks to all those who helped get this sorted for me. Much appreciated
