What region is it? Are the discs compatible with the system.. UK PS2 (PAL) and the same discs, not NTSC?

Region 2 (english)?, yes they are compatible as I've been using them the last 2 years.

All my discs are PAL.

I tried a friends disc as well (just in case my was buggered) it was the same :smt012

Thanks :smt005

TBO It looks a piece of cake to fix, with those very good pictures.

BTW I printed it off.

I'll also take pics as I undertake the work, as the model he uses looks a bit different to mine.
