ps although that means nothing really ! They could have chucked anything in the box!
Apologies for not posting this update sooner, totally forgot and it might help someone else out there. I figured out this problem a while ago.
I was right that the stem needed to be changed as a vital piece of this was sold when I put the Felt on ebay so in effect this was incomplete. New stem bought which is spot on.
The crucial part of solving the problem was the actual expander plug itself. I was not aware that some expander plugs are actually meant to be installed in two parts. The bit that sits in steerer tube is meant to be separated completely from the top section. This plug is tightened up in the tube with its own bolt. Once this is secured you can then proceed to tighten everything up with the top part of the cap. Essentially the plug is in 2 parts but it looked as though it was all one!
Problem solved!
