2 domains, 1 redirecting to the other, 1 won't index

Hi

My company bought a .com and a .co.uk domain because we get people who
type the wrong one and we thought it easier if we got both and just had
one pointing to the other.

The problme i have is that whilst we were having an office move and
chaning servers the redirect got taken off somehow and the .co.uk had
content indexed when it should not.

I had a holding page there till the website was designed and now the
site has full content and full optimisation.

Problem is i want the .co.uk to redirect to the .com. However it seems
the .co.uk is the only one indexed in google. But the content is on the
.com and all our business cards say .com etc.

Is the .co.uk stopping the .com being seen because its already been
indexed? and now that i have full content on the .com will it be
indexed or will google just stick with the .co.uk that has no content
only a redirect?

I suppose what i want to know is would it be better to swop the
redirection round and have the .com redirecting to the .co.uk since the
.co.uk has already been indexed?

I need high rankings for the site but fear that it will take ages for
it to be indexed as the .com is the one that contains the information.

Any advice on weather i need to swop would be appreciated.

Thanks

LIndsey
