Thanks guys for your comments.
I had an LXD55 mount for nearly 9 years and despite some early issues, it has performed exceptionally well for me in the later years in behaving itself and not taking off. I could certainly trust leaving my LXD55 outside unattended all night when I got into AP last year.
In fact I got re-acquainted with my old LXD55 last week over East where my brother in law now has it and I watched it slew and you could tell the firmware has really taken into account mount clashes by watching it sequence the slewing when requiring a large direction change.
The G11 gem 2 is mechanically a giant step above the LXD55 and I am very happy with it but it's these recent hiccups that have me a little on edge. I really do hope it can be put down to the firmware.
I have since hooked up a basic prox switch this evening and my power supply has a relay which can disconnect power to the mount until I am certain what is going on.
Thanks again for your comments.
