    can you try a different type of cable like the red/white/yellow in case the scart connection dodgy.

    think you might be correct regarding cables.
    it could be the scart, the only spare one i had long enough is thick for a scart lead so could the weight be loosening it slightly ?

    no but inserting and removing many times may damage cable,another way to find problem to elliminate it step by step.

    thanks cactikid for your help, much appreciated
