Well fixed the issue with mine not shifting, the end of the cable had just somehow managed to come out of the little red bit of plastic holding it in place, so that was an easy fix. However it isn't shifting still because the rear mech isn't being moved by the cable but that's another issue.
While I had the bar tape I thought off I'd remove the shifting mech from the left hand brifter since it's not in use. Seems like you can't remove it with exactly the same method as @fredtc posted above because there is a bit of plastic with a sprung allen bolt inside getting in the way of pushing the axle from that side. The bolt is attached to something on the other side labelled "brake in" with a rotating sign next to it. Is that to adjust lever length?
Anyway a sprung washer sprung off in my kitchen and now seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth and after lots of swearing and searching I have given up in a huff.
