tbh mate the state of your rear hubs probably means you'll need new ones of them to read properly.

But fingers crossed they will be ok. If you can get an osciliscope then we can check them, nick one from work or summat.

aye, a wee bit of laquer on them will also prevent any future corrosion as well.
