No worries mate, hope you get it sorted without 2 much hassle. I'm on here most nights so just pm me if you need more info, I would lean toward a faulty lead, but would rather check every possible thing before sending the lead back and getting another.
If you need 2, Pm me your addy and i will lend you my lead, that way you will know if its the lead or not for sure.
Cheers
Todd
