Black to centre hole marked com. Red to right hole marked v ohms etc.. Set dial to the green settings at bottom marked ohms. The second one up looks like continuity. Touching the leads together should go to 0 and if continuity selected(not sure its is) then it will bleep

Right, got that. So when you say touch the earth pin on the plug - is that the wall socket end or the end which plugs into the amp? Can I touch the earth pin on the inside where the power goes into the amp or does it have to be the underside?

Haha, I'm stupid but not that so, haha.
Just tried the power amp but got no reading (stayed at .1 which seems the default), reckon I may have to pop the top off or maybe I'm missing where to get a metal contact as the screw I took out didn't seem to give me anything - which also means the wire I tried earlier wasn't effective). I did try a reading from the wall plug earth to the earth hole in the amp end of the cable - which gave me a reading of between 0-20ohm (mostly 0 but it did spike to around 15-20 at times) and the voltmeter buzzed as had it on the right setting for continuity.
I'll have to continue tomorrow as I must get some sleep - otherwise I'll be falling asleep at work tonight!

Get some sleep. When you get back refreshed use your resistance measurement to track up to find the fault. Start with the cables. Earth pin on the plug to earth pin in the iee socket. Then check earth pin on plug to the chassis. On a class 1 device, assuming you have found a bare metal contact point, this should be zero ohms. If its not
You may not have found a bare chassis connection - not always easy - OR
If you have found a bare chassis connection and you don't have zero ohms you have a dangerous fault and never mind hum, you needs somebody who knows what they are doing taking a look at it.
If you can find a good chassis connection on both chassis, where you get zero ohms from chassis to earth pin on the plug, then if you connect the 2 chassis, you should get zero ohms (or very few ohms) between the 2 plug earth pins.
Best of luck
