BigAl (Alan):
I think Weller soldering irons are the best choice...picked up a PU-1D from eBay a number of years ago...excellent iron.
PS. Lead solder (60/40) with rosin flux core every time...the alloy solder is not very good.

Thanks Alan - Ill have a look out for one of those - where do you get the decent solder? I think that is my main issue TBH.

As Brian says, you can buy the correct solder from Farnell online (no a/c required, check out as guest)

You can but if you have an account and want other stuff the shipping is cheaper, 1st leg that is!
