Cheers for the ideas folks but no welder here and its already been in a vice when it had the metal plug in place and the vice was coming off the bench before the post would move I sh** u not!!
I'm gonna go with cutting it and maybe the diesel or plusgas as a backup....also have oxalic on the way so I'll stick it in a bath and see what gives :LolLolLolLol:

Finally...deep into injury time (got the scars to prove!) I beat this bugger into submission. It's taken over a week of almost daily abuse but finally got the post out last night. For anyone else that's in a similar position all I can say is...stick with it and be patient unlike me!
I'll put a pic up later by way of explanation but this mission has cost me a lot of time, sweat, blood and screwdrivers, blades and drill bits!!
the thing that finally worked for me was sawing the inside of the post length ways in 4 places and then twisting cutting, crushing, drilling it to death. Tough going but a good feeling getting the bugger out tho. I believe this method would work in 99% of cases but it's not for those short of time or patience....

I'd have given up long ago :LolLolLolLol:
dannywhiteley:

Glynnyboy:

By the way, well done :daumenhoch: 8) 8)
