Thanks for all the tips guys-it worked in the end, but was difficult to do! It wasn't the oven, that's working fine, and the pastry fell apart before it got anywhere near the oven! It was just falling apart as I picked it up with the rolling pin.

I have to say though, that despite the trauma (obviously not a real trauma!) of it all the tart is beautiful and the pastry is delicious. Maybe I will make it again...

you can roll it out between clingfilm - pop it in the fridge like that to chill (vital for rich pastry) and when you come to put it in the dish peel one side off and then pop it in the dish, ease into place, remove other film and then patch if required - hope this helps
