R44 stuck in Hereford

....but I didn't crash it.

I would appreciate some advice from you Robinson engineers out there as to what might be going on with my machine. Whilst I feel sorry for the sheep who are about to lose some shade and a rubbing post, here is the poop so far -

Sunday - discovered a dead LH mag on shut down.
Monday - 5 hr round trip by road, both mags removed for overhaul as they are due for a 4 year.
Tuesday - Mags done in Oxford, astonishing service - dropped them off early morning, collected late afternoon.
Today - Fitted new mags, both working. Did I fly it out? Er....no.....

Why not?

Gremlins have been at work on governor and engine tacho - both now U/S.
Newly overhauled r/h 'tacho' mag removed and brought back to workshop - tested out perfectly - all points opening and closing as they should.

Sheep will now at least have some rain cover tomorrow...

Machine is an '08 Raven 2 with 365 hrs on it.

Any ideas?
