1.) Your MX needs a CLA, (I'm not kidding).
2.) The winder is worn out. If that's the case take it back, get your money back and look for another. You can find lots of Winder MX's in relatively good condition, that are not worn out, and at the prices they usually sell for it's not worth repairing one. (But, that's just my opinion)

I recently bought an MX Winder (from a shop with 3 months g'tee). The winder worked fine on my MX in the shop without film but with film in the camera (new batteries in the winder) it sometimes fails to complete a wind and I'll have to finish manually. Sometimes it does this and the light stays on (indicating the end of film, although it's not) and sometimes there is no light. When the end of film is reached the light doesn't usually come on, you can hear the winder 'slipping' as it tries to wind. Generally the winding sounds a bit laboured.
Any ideas?
