Hi Andy, haven't you got a user manual? I think you can get answers for most of the problems from it.
1.z axis wont stop when hits end stop: Check your wiring, see if your endstop is connected well, notice that you should connect it the the min socket not max socket.
2.y axis going wrong way: You need to change the motor direction in firmware, refer to the post:

3.auto home doesnt work: Check your endstop also.
4.repetier host not working with computer can connect but nothing happens: Have you installed the right driver?　Have you chosen the right com port and baut rate?
5.firmware not working: Please refer to the post to install the firmware:

6.how to calibrate the printer: You can find the instructions in the user manual:
