What make and model is the derailleur? Mtb or road? You can get them at massively knocked down prices if you spend just a moment looking around on the web. And they're piss easy to replace yourself.

Went to the LBS and they had a Shimano Alivio for £25 plus £5 fitting. Although I could have got it cheaper on line, I went for it to save me a couple of hours messing around!

Good job. And you won't have to worry about chain removal and fine tuning.
In future, step away from the limit screws.
On a different matter thanks to a sickness bug I've still not managed a ride on the new steed. At least when I do manage it I'll be 5lbs lighter

My new winter gear turned up this week so looks like I'll finally be able to get out for a ride this weekend. I look great in lycra tights  |

Nope, one thing I haven't got. Do have thermal socks though, so hopefully they'll do for now.

I think you'll invest eventually - I went out last week with thermal socks and overshoes and still had frozen toes. Put some duck tape over the vents in the sole of your shoes - it helps. |

Duct tape sounds a good idea. My sister's just moved and her new gaff is halfway round my usual loop, so I can always stop for a cuppa if it gets too cold  |

Good plan. I've also tried 2 pairs of socks with a layer of cling film in between - every little helps. and you thought lycra tights were bad |

Overshoes are great! I look a complete pratt with them, but they help keep my feet warm and dry - Except when I was coming home from work this week and the heavens opened. There was no where for me to stop and get my waterproof trousers out, so I pressed on. The rain unfortunately ran down my 'tights' and inside my overshoes, soaking my socks, feet and cycling shoes!

For simply keeping your feet warm and moderately dry, for not much money...these can't be beat http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CLPXOSH/planet_x_neoprene_overshoesMine are looking a little ragged at the bottom a year or so on, but I was having to do a fair bit of wandering around train stations with them on last winter. I'm sure if you can leave walking in them to a minimum, they'll last for a good while too. |
