But I cannot remember how to replace the disk if it wont boot, is it a case of just changing disk 4 for new(hopefully it is that one causing the fault) adn then let it boot(hopefully) and rebuild?
Try booting the system w/o no disk 4, and see if it then boots.
If it does, then hot-insert the replacement disk. It should then resync.
If it doesn't, then you should test all remaining the disks with seatools.

It has booted at least looks normal, should I be able to access the volume when a disk has failed and dead?
Just got to wait on delivery for drive tomorrow and plug in and hope for the best.

- That's interesting as it is a raid mode, can't remember which one, thought it was 2 and 2, but actually all disks are 1tb but total size is 2.9 tb with 2.7tb available.
