I changes disk 2 back to the old disk and rerun the mdadm command I get 

root@readyNAS:~# mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sda3: Device or resource busy
mdadm: /dev/sda3 has no superblock - assembly aborted

---

try running

cat /proc/mdstat

and see if /dev/md2 is listed.

If it isn't, then try 

root@readyNAS:~# mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3

---

---

and if that appears to work, try running the cat command again.

If md2 is listed, then try the vgscan bit again.

ok so 

root@readyNAS:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md2 : inactive sda3[1](S) sdc3[4](S) sdd3[2](S) sdb3[0](S)
      11702179554 blocks super 1.2

md1 : active raid1 sdb2[5] sda2[1] sdc2[4] sdd2[2]
      524276 blocks super 1.2 [4/4] [UUUU]

md0 : active raid1 sdb1[4] sda1[1] sdd1[2] sdc1[3]
      4193268 blocks super 1.2 [4/4] [UUUU]

unused devices: <none>

but vgscan wont give me anything but "No volume groups found" 

What's interesting though... if I run vgscan with a couple of "-vvv" I see md2 only mentioned once in there (in comparison to md0 and md1)

Sounds like something has corrupted the LVM structures.  I guess you could try recovery software - perhaps R-Studio
