So finally - resolved, well as much as possible.
Ended up taking the engine out WITH the shaft attached - max came round, again, he was stunned it wasnt shifting.
Engine came out, eventually from underneath the car
Popped the engine on it's back, bracket meet sledgehammer, sledgehammer meet bracket. HUGE hit, nothing... again X20 and we got a slight movement. 5 minutes of smashing and eventually the shaft came out. the speedo had completly fallen apart. something along the line had seized the shaft up. Bought a new one, £44 picked up tomorrow.
So no, connor, spellowe and all the haterz, i'm not that special.
