As above wear in the spindle, as long as it works just leave it alone (y) ;)

What bit wobbles? Mostly those buttons come out either by screwing or levering as you have tried, problem is after years of use they get stuck in with scale and gunk! You can try a descaler like Viakal or even white vinegar (not quite as good) wrap a rag or kitchen towel soak it in solution and...

My neighbour had a freezer bag that had pushed a corner through the vent to catch the fan blades

Yes just cut and cap the pipes then pull the whole lot out together penny to a pound that's how the got in! Daft idea those set ups but what the customer sees in the brochure is what they demand. :LOL:

Chances are a tap connector would have fitted to original heater tail. :unsure:
