Can't believe I'm replying to my own post but hell someone else might benefit.
I have spoken to a few old and bolds and they tell me that there is 3 things that help;
1. Your aircraft is always on the tail of the needle and it is trying to pull the tailof the needle itself.
2. Your aircraft on the tail of the needle is always heading up the DI or ADF.
3. The station is always in the middle of the ADF.
I have gained soooo much from that invaluable info, hope it helps others too.
