Robert, If it's in both directions it really does sound like the motor.
I'm a motor bike rider so I cant offer to fetch it for you.
What you could do is send me just the motor and I can check it out for you and then ship it back. Should only take a few days in total. That would save having to ship the whole machine anywhere. I work up in London so if you also work in London we could meet up so I could pick the motor up from you.
The motor can be removed very easily by removing the four screws in the plate which secures it to the machine case. Also remove the plugs from the main board.
The green capacitor is in fact a thermistor for removing spiky interference that the motor generates when running. If this is not present you can hear motor noises through the amplifier.
Hope that helps, Kev.
