Thank you for the replies..

Having looked at this issue in more detail, I am fairly sure the issue is with the Halls sensor. The head motor isn't spinning..

I've seen online that this glue can be removed but I am having real trouble removing the rotor assembly. The service manual asks for a nut and a washer to be removed which should then allow me to take out the rotor and access the sensors. However, the rotor will not move. Everything spins freely as it should.

Could this be time hardened lubricant? Any ideas how to remove it?

If anyone has any advice on this I would be grateful.. I don't want to make matters worse by applying too much force..

Also.. would anyone know where to source replacement sensors or any modern equivalents that would do the same job?

Thank you.
