They didn't say what was wrong with it. Its not a PSU problem as the light is steady green when the console is powered on. I did the error code check on the console (press the little white button and the eject button 4 times) and the code was 0102 = unknown error.

Good to know Iain, hope to get a quick turnaround

I have to send just the console and HDD back to them, packing it in the box the courier will bring.The courier will wait for me to pack it, then take it away.

Read a lot about people getting freebies for their troubles, will be doing my best to make sure I do to

The courier dropped off a box to put the 360 in along with the instructions, relevant stickers and number to get it collected FOC by DHL. They are coming back tomorrow to get the package, so the clock will be ticking
