Excellent, how quickly do you think you could dig them out?

this is where I fail badly...

Ummm... Let me see how work goes this afternoon (I have a lot to get through) and if it's not dark, I'll have a look tonight.
They still have discs attached etc. so postage might be a problem (weight might well put them over Hermes/UPS drop off points?)

Thanks Iain, the spindle is only held on to the knuckle with 4 14mm nuts, might be easier if you could split them off?

I couldn't get the discs off the hub, IIRC - retaining screws were buggered was the problem...

Ahh fair enough, I'm sure I'll have fun with it. Just need the n/s now, so if you could have a rummage round please.

Not sure if it helps but the screws are normally soft as anything, I've drilled them out fairly easily before

Yeah, you're dead right jj. I just couldn't be arsed at the time - it was a case of just getting things off the car and tbh, the discs and hub take up less space as one assembly, than in bits

It started rain and is pitch black, so turning out the shed tonight is out I'm afraid mec. I have however just found one of the centre displays I have knocking about

For reasons I don't understand, the whole plastic front panel on it is sticky as drokk as if it's covered in adhesive residue though

Nasty. I'll carry on looking for a couple of others I have. It's getting easier to find things now they're getting organised and space is being created!

That is bacterial growth/corrosion.

I think it was established some time ago that all 4th gens are very sticky inside, make of that what you will

Corrosion? On plastic?
