Hmm, I'm beginning to believe that's the case. I've ordered a
replacement drive so that we can have that up and running quickly.
Will hopefully also be able to get this one repaired, but no-one can
give me a guaranteed repair schedule that doesn't cost more than a new
drive!
Thanks for your help ...
