What am I doing wrong (Nothing by the looks of things)

I'm having great problems with drift alignment on the EQ5. Spent a couple of 2hour sessions going through the how to from IIS and it still doesn't track properly.
Best exposures I can get are about 2 secs, which is about as much as I could get with the drive turned off. Just run a check on the drive speed, set it going and noted the start time and RA position and the first 1 hr run looks like it might be a bit slow. Just running another check over the next 2 hours to see if it still the same. Has anyone else had this problem with the EQ5 ?
I notice there is an adjustment pot inside the controller but loath to play with it untill I'm sure thats the trouble.
Any advice much appreciated.

Bill
