Started making some horrible graunching noises in the latter stages of a quick 500 mile bimble over the weekend, so I gritted my teeth and looked to see if the front sprocket might need changing.

I think that's a yes. Whether that (and the small rockery that was embedded in the oily gunge under the sprocket cover) was causing the bumping and grinding remains to be seen, though.
At least I now know where to look for dropped battery terminal screws, anyway. And the bike is half a kilo lighter. And I get to change that dodgy nut (I think it's the thin one, at any rate).
