Not really an issue, what are the values of the resistors used for the limit switches please?

Its a 10K resistor. Its common to use a resistor like this for buttons / switches. Known as a pull up/pull down I followed this guide to figure out how to wire up switches https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/button

Thanks, I had found some articles online but with different values. I'll pop to the local store tomorrow and get a few 10k.
