Big thank you for those photographs. At least I now know that I have all of the correct parts in place.
I took the whole mechanism out yesterday and probably out of shear frustration (and nothing to lose, because it is broken anyway), I blasted it with brake cleaner inside and out. After it dried, the unit now holds when it turns to the right and also hold when it turns to the left as well.
I will test it again this evening and reinstall it this weekend. Fingers crossed it carries on working after I screw it all back together and connect it all up again.
I guess I will find out if brake cleaner upsets the solder connections.
Daisy is on the road again!

You may have cleaned what ever was stopping it from locking into place. I would suggest using a light lubricant, as you have washed away the old lubricant.
