Probably best for me to just replace it, cant be bothered tinkering about to get it to work, just swap it out.

i must have dodged hundreds of the pot holes today but it only takes one to knacker ya bike

If the hanger is as bent as I think it is in the picture it'll probably snap if you try to straighten it.

Generally it doesn't matter what the rear mech is for either 7/8/9/10 the cable pull is controlled by the shifter
Sheldon explain better than me.

do these rear mechs come with a hanger or do i need to buy a new one?

You need to buy one.

replaced the rear mech, had to reuse the old hanger as i bought a new one but it didn't fit the triban, had to get a friend of my dads to straighten it out. I've replaced the chain also, just need to take a few more links out as it rubs in some gears buts that'l be easy enough,

Also had to true the wheel as it was buckled but the bike is now working again and i'm looking forward to putting some miles in tomorrow. thanks for the help / advice.
