penny trick.

well, you identified the problem, but it was hard work reading though all of that! Doctors say: The correct diagnosis is 90% of the cure! get your disco fixed up, then drop us a line and we'll take you out for a day playing :)

yeah, why not... the poor boy is having a heat attack worrying about what torque settings to use and if he can afford the spanners! We all had to accumilate tools and knowledge once upon a time. There's nothing that can't be bought or learned in amongst there...so yeah, no problem.
