Just fit a new 18" actuator mate.

A diseqc motor won't mount to your dish easily, and even if you do get it fitted to the dish, it won't last long and a good gust of wind will more than likely cause issues.

As for the triax 1.1m I removed mine a few months ago and fitted a channel master 1.2m, the triax is a good dish, but not a patch on a well setup channel master.

As Evo says, you wont be able to fit a DISEQC motor to the Channel master, different brackets etc...

thanks for the replies, will try to source a new actuator for a reasonable price, any suggestions

Google is your friend here, as the site sponser doesn't appear to sell them. (might be worth dropping them a pm or email to see if they can get you one for sensible money though).
