Sounds like the HEQ5 Pro I bought (2nd hand too) - I think it had taken a knock in transit and when running at sidereal rate there was a periodic click in the RA axis which would cause the star to visibly jump in the eyepiece while drift aligning the mount. Worm gear adjustment as per Astrobaby's tutorial sorted out the 'clunk' and it has run perfectly since.

Sorry, can't help with the warranty question though. But I hope the above link helps.
