    Yesterday I picked up a secondhand 80cm dish and motor (£30 bargain), in about an hour I had it installed and tracking all sats, using my smart phone.
    It’s not that hard.

    It might be not that hard for you but it is hard for me to get the rig on dead straight. I tried to get the dish to move when I select on any sats so it won't move.

    I don't know how you do that, but did you turned off usuals and disconnected the cable from the motor before you move the rig to dead straight?

    And did you reset on the motor?

    Which is why I suggested you get a professional.
