New drive not being used in RAID, management service offline
Im using a ReadyNAS202 running 2 x 2TB WD red drives I noticed my Time Machine backups were starting to fail and then realised one of my disks was degraded. I replaced that with a new one earlier ...
Are you running XRAID or FlexRAID?
I don't remember making the choice, how is this determined?

XRAID is the default, so if you didn't choose FlexRAID you are running XRAID.
Can you post a screenshot of the volumes page in the admin web ui?
Ok sure, yep definitely never chose FlexRAID.
I can't get into the web admin UI, it seems to kind of accept my credentials then time out.RAIDar says "Management service offline" and diagnostics shows "Failed to start ReadyNAS System Daemon"

Was the new disk formatted when you installed it?
Does entering
cat /proc/mdstattell you that the array for the data volume (md127) is resyncing?
You could try testing sdb (the new disk) with smartctl.
