It's now usable again :-) It'll save my friend a few quid on buying a new router. Now while I think about it, I have a Linksys Wireless Access Point which I attempted an OpenWRT install on, I believe it didn't have enough memory though so as far as I've got is installing the kernel and booting it. There isn't a web interface or anything like that on it. I did wonder if anyone fancied trying to get it working again on Saturday? If so I'll bring it along if I can find the PSU.
