<VV> Loose axle.

[Hugo Miller]

Yes I know that. I wasn't proposing that it might have just come loose. 
As I said in one of my posts, if there is any play there I'm in trouble 
anyway. I was all for popping the tab off & giving it a clout with a 
hammer just to see if it moved. But the problem has gone away now so 
I've saved myself a job.
