This is possibly an unnecessary question, but... have you released the bristol lever to the top left of the depth wheel before trying to adjust the angle?

My best suggestion is just to turn the thing upside-down and check that there's no gunk in the gears, and if there's anything obviously wrong. I'd probably use white grease for lubrication, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea! ;-)

It's worth mentioning that - while I wouldn't say mine is malfunctioning - my angle adjustment has been less easy than the height adjustment since new. I think it's as much down to the differing mechanisms used as anything. You may find that there's nothing more you can do about it.
