Thanks for the advice, the variable speed drill shocked me with how much it was bent, to the naked eye it's hard to see just how much.
Smacked it a few times with a mallett - popped it back in as straight as we could get it and it still wouldn't turn.
Solution (And yes, it works a treat with no loose valve):
Took the spacer off the far end, added 2 small copper washers to enable little movement but a tad more room, also added a tiny washer to compensate on the plate end spindle. Moves freely, cables adjusted, opens and closes fine and my lord what an absolute animal.
Thanks for your help, I'll keep a close eye on it but for now, no knocking noises, no clanging, no rattling - Just pure POWAHHHHHHHH!
