I have just completed my R2D2 and when i power it up it does jerk forward which is correct and it moves head left and right which is correct. However the head then situates itself basically back to front? how can I rectify this please

Issue 83 They are clearly marked 'L' and 'R' you may have them the wrong way round.

You will next need to check that all your conectors are labeled correctly and pluged into the correct sockets.

With the camera have you attached the ribbon cable to the board correctly and again is it the correct way up when inserted.

thanks for advice I will attempt to take it all apart to get to all connections and will advise if all correct.
Is there an easy way of dismantling or is it wise to take apart working backwards from issue 100. Also before doing that should I dissconnect batteries

I would disconect the battery box from the MCU unit before attempting any checkd on the conections. Just take the sides and dome off your R2 to get access to the conections.
