It is entirely possible that a previous owner has refitted the tube nut the wrong way, which moves the entire wheel assembly slightly to the left (from sitting on the bike in the normal riding position) allowing a very slight contact between the disc and fork leg.

Thanks - I'll check on reassembly if it is touching and then check what you have said
Cheers

My #18 is on the other side ?
I presume that could be the issue ... is it easy to swop ?
Stupid question - it wouldn’t have been done when tyres were changed ?

Looks like the spindle is back to front, the tube nut should be on the disc side of the wheel, that would cause your problem!
