    I've given the valves a once over this morning, removing them and giving the pins a wipe and then re seating them. I think this seems to have cleared up the issue thankfully so thanks for the help folks, I owe you one!

    Would it be worth giving the pins a proper going over with something like deoxit? (I think that's what it's called) or something similar?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Glad you got it sorted Ben. I would definitely recommend some Deoxit. I also cleaned the valve base sockets with some Deoxit and used some of these:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TePe-Angle...nzN_edTtPIuwFA

    I've just ordered a fibre pen but for something completely different, I didn't think about cleaning valve pins with it
