Oil anything that moves, sometimes friction can overcome the strength of the return spring so the ratchet can't operate far enough.

Thanks for the replies guys, I've had another look at it, and I'm sure I've found the problem, the oil seal in the inner clutch cover was running dry, so I gave it a squirt with some GT85 along the shaft and it's free again, good advise to oil anything that's moves, thanks.

Sounds like it is time to remove the outer cover.
Could be a couple of problems: broken return spring or bad hairpin spring.
