Using the rate controller on Automatic, no rate appears on screen and pressure falls after 10m and spray stops coming out of nozzles.
On manual, it is stuck at 2bar
Anyone care to tell me what I've done wrong?

Should have a rate reading even if it is not the correct rate when it is spraying something. Check the fuse for lh if it's gone it can cause strange things to happen as its on the earth.

Check the plug on the back of the LH Agro box,Mine did the same once and turned out to be as simple as that plug had worked loose, didn't think of it as everything else on the box was working!

Flowmeter worn on shaft? Common problem with many sprayers spins more easily than it should-cured my problem anyway.

The paddle wheel wears the a couple of grooves in the shaft as stated which can cause no reading or sporadic ones

Can get repair kit rather than new flow meter if you are price conscious
