Thanks carl and blewis, you had me worried there if I had to replace the encoder, lucky it was just that nut behind the wheel. used some tweezer things to tighten. thanks guys!

Hi,
I've come across the exact same problem on a X7000, a S01 and a S1000,
luckily it is an incredibly easy fix.

*Gently* pull of the knob - at the bottom of the shaft you'll see a 6 sided nut.
Just tighten it with a pair of needle nose pliers (you can take the whole thing to bits and use a spanner etc. to tighten - using needle nose pliers just means you can get at it easier)

Good Luck

Brian
