First off, the service from Kevin was excellent ! ;D The piston was with me in good time and I fitted it today for a quick road test.
After stripping the caliper down, I found the source of the problem which was the badly corroded piston.
While the caliper was stripped, I drilled (5.5mm drill) and tapped the caliper arm for a 1/4" x 28NF grease nipple and cleaned the pivot bolt up. New brake fluid to replace the emulsified muck that was in there and the bike was as different as chalk and cheese.
Many thanks again to everyone on here for the good advice given.
Photos added.

Postscript. Just had a run out to renew the MOT. Passed OK. ;D
