The rear cog skips down if I move pedal backwards and then loosen/ slackens off and all goes a bit pear shape after.

Sorry for not being technical, but any ideas?

    Stiff link in the chain or the rear mech hanger is out of alignment.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Check the chain - might have stretched beyond the limit

    sounds like indexing / derailleur alignment issue.
    find a you tube gear indexing video* and follow that.

    *can something on youtube be called a video - thats showing my age isn't it?
