Didn’t take any photos as my hands were covered in oil, but I took apart the forks last night. I’m no expert on these things but I would have expected some oil to have come out of it - May well explain why it wasn’t holding air. Gave everything a clean, seals all looked fine so I popped some new oil in. Just checked t this morning and it’s held air over night which it wasn’t doing before. I’m tentatively marking this one in the win column for now.
Neighbour who popped round with oil also let me know he’s got some SLX brakes I can have to replace the avids.
