One issue sounds like the write protect pin is getting intermittantly stuck, which could cause unprotected disks to be seen as write protected.
It would be worth trying the A4000T floppy drive in another Amiga to confirm it's an issue with the drive. Likewise, try another Amigas floppy drive in the A4000T to confirm there isn't an issue with something on the MB.
This is an Escom Amiga 4000T? I believe they're just a modded PC floppy drive in which case it should be easy enough to replace.
Edit: Worth checking the drive for built-up dust as this could be causing the issues you mention. Try blowing the dust out and see if it helps.
