Thanks Mark. well I tried that and still no luck.

My uncle has just left after having a look at it and we pulled the pin out that links the drive cone to the pedal, we found out that the drive cone moves freely but the pedal still doesn't. It's almost like the pedal is jammed somehow. I can get a pic of it if it will make it easier for someone to help me. lol. Thanks guys. I know I must seem like a bimbo but I really do love working on anything mechanical this one just has me stumped.
