It wasn't charging either but one thing at a time.
Sorry I didn't get a video of it running.. I was about to and then this happened.

Yes, the circlip always or should be single use only. But don't worry, it's doable but fiddly, just make sure all the bits are locked in on the shaft, fit a new circlip and you will be good to go.

See, the soothing tones of a real nurse telling you it's all going to be ok.
If only Heineken did techie websites ;D does it get any better :P
eight0:
Haha. It's true, I feel much much better now.
Thank you Julie!

I've just drained the oil and as suspected all the bits of the kick shaft are in the sump.
More worryingly, I found this in the sump.

Looks like black mastic / gasket seal type stuff. Are those glittery bits I can see as well?
