Chaps -Anybody using anything different on the drive wheel as in the shim / spacer washers used to fill the gap between the end of the white drive cog and the wheel - I seem to have a few damaged ones ??? :( and need to find some replacements.

I went into a local hardware shop and got some M20 washers (I think!). They cost next to nothing, but are a lot thicker than the standard ones. Take one to somewhere like that and they'll find you a replacement :-)
