Just found a orange and grey striped wire which is thicker than the others and has a silver connector on the end which goes to nothing, this is located just up above my fuse box tied up with other wires. ANY IDEAS??

Hi , the connectors to the head unit all plugged in ..yes
connectors to all boot add ons plugged in....yes
there is a large block connector in the depths of the dash behind and down (was on the left hand side in mine) from the ashtray unit....make sure this is also plugged in as this is the one that connect the head unit to the add ons in the boot...if this has been connected already , forgive me...its just the car i have it wasnt and as soon as connected ...hey presto..good luck

Cheers for this info is this a rectangle black box below the glove box? or is it a connector below where the head unit sits?
I have not had this info before so would like to know exactly as this may well be the issue, or i would like to hope so!

It can be really frustrating not being able to get to the bottom of a problem, especially when you're spending trying to get it sorted.
I know it's a bit of a trek but it might pay you to make a trip down to one of the Metro Centre meets and see if one of the guys can identify anything.
