Give Richie at Performance Autoworks a shout.

He knows someone who has trailer service available.

Plus they are only in fairford, Gloucestershire.

Not a million miles away from you.

Is it a big job just for somebody to get to the parts in the first place to see what the damage is?

For anyone who's following this story I've had some brilliant news! Apparently the amplifier in the dizzy had failed. They're fitting the part tomorrow (which cost £40!) I don't have to sell some of my organs after all :)
