    G'day Robo and Rip'n'Shred.

    Robo - we got a pretty good answer together in the end, I reckon! Thanks for your major part in it.

    There are some gurus on here, I am not one of them in relation to patrol mechanicals, you may well be, Robo.

    The gurus touch all the key points right up front all the time - the rest of just contribute what we can, based on experience, and it seems to be appreciated.

    Rip'n'Shred - yep, for key safety systems, when in doubt, get expert help. A couple of good mechanics I know seem to forget how much they know from training and experience that helps them to diagnose and deal with problems. And they have manual skills and strength and tips and tricks as well, so they are a pleasure to watch at work.

    Trolatron, all the best with your fix - be really interested to know what was holding the brake on, or why otherwise it got so hot

    Out of left field, I guess there is a remote possibility that the heat is coming from a wheel bearing problem? I've seen car and trailer wheels depart from the car or trailer because the hub got so hot. Anyway, time and work will tell.
