Guys {elation},
I waited over 30 hours but the NAS just sat there with the LCD displaying booting so then I gave in and pulled the Drive in Bay 1. I repowered and it went through the same boot routine but then jumped into check FS and was at 5 % in just a few minutes. This morning when I came down the NAS had booted completely and advised me I was missing a drive which I have promptly replaced :smileyvery-happy:
RAIDar is showing me status and firmware (4.1.14)
Resynch is 5% advanced with a finish time in about 8 hours
Thank you all for the comments...they pointed the way and gave me the confidence to be patient.
It helped that nothing critical on the NAS had not been backed up so I wasnt stressing about loss ...but looking through the files I am glad I have them all back.
Thank you once again

I'd try booting w/o the FS check. If that works, back up the unit and do a factory reset/restore.
Also, check the SMART stats on the disks.

Hello TeMorituriNZ,
You can try Skip Volume Check from the boot menu then once it allows you to access the FrontView, download the logs and check reallocated sector count and ATA errors. If you will be able to access the files. back up asap.
