Now it takes about 15 seconds to connect which is difficult as I want to set my speedo up and the speedo goes out of setup mode before the radio binds!!

My other car with a mk1 still works fine.

Anyone else had this?

After a bit of trawling through some RC plane sites I have found the solution. Thought I'd share in case anyone else had some problem.

I was trying to set car up on workbench with my transmitter next to car - within a foot or 2. Moved transmitter another couple of feet away and all problems disappeared. TX and RX bind instantly. Seems if the TX and RX are too close the signal somehow "swamps" the RX and it cannot detect it - sure there is a more technical explanation but not too bothered now I know solution.

Still don't have this issue with my Mk1 receivers but at least I can carry on using Frsky with Mk2 receivers which feel slightly more robust than the Mk1s and are still cheap as chips.

Cheers

Rob
