Hi Thanks for all the help. You were right Bernard, the wire did not take solder at all. In fact it had a black coating (I assume to be some sort of oxidisation or secondary insulation). I rubbed this off and twisted the wires together before applying a blob of solder which seems to have...

cool, thanks for the help. I should be ok without needing one thanks, I will just join the wires together as there is no moisture or anything. i'll solder them and stick some heat shrink on just to be sure. Your help is much appreciated :D p.s am based just south of Middlesbrough...
