Great bit of fault-chasing there and a rewarding outcome- it's funny how things can be an ill wind sometimes, a stretch of un-hasselled time can work wonders for insight and clear-mindedness. I quite like broken things with someone's "I haven't got the time...." narrative behind it- it often translates as "I've been distracted by something else and haven't bothered with it" or "TBH, I haven't a clue but pride won't let me admit it, so I've left it well alone"- either way, it often means un-molested and a straightforward fix.

Fingers crossed it keeps ackling!
