Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. It seems like the consensus is that
it may be repairable, with appropriate care taken of the rollers, so I shall
take it to a garage to have it looked at, and not be too sceptical if they
volunteer to take some money off of me in order to fix it.
Also, to Gary, thanks for the suggestion of the washer. I did consider
that, but there's not really enough metal for me to be happy with it.
Maybe as a short-time fix while waiting for parts, but not permanently. And
I quite agree about the crap at the bottom of my e-mails, but that gets
added after I hit the "send" button, so there's not much I can do about it
except change job (which I may just be doing before too long... but that's a
different subject completely!)
Thanks agains for your support,
Dean

If I were you, I'd look at pulling the seat and then pulling the slide
and see how bad it really is. If it's just the front is rusted through
you could have someone weld a plate across the bottom of the channel and
reuse the current ones. But you won't know untill you see how badly it's
rusted out.
