If it's been sitting, Darren, more than likely lack of lubrication.....................

a couple on the ramps when i was there, sure you photographed these at the weekend.
One would think a drop of oil could be bought with what they charge for a seven year old to enter, guess we need to take a oil can if i go again but would rather go to Holt .
