Thanks for your reply, yes I'm getting power to one side of the switch, I'm not quite sure how the switch should work but I'm thinking that might be the problem, after a bit of research it seems to be a common cause, or else the motor has gone?

I took the microswitch apart, it showed signs of electrical arcing / burning, so hopefully this is the problem. I've ordered a new one today and will update the thread once it's fitted.
