If it took you the 22 hours between your first and last post to make one up I'd have gone out and paid the £2.75 for a new one if I were you! :rofl: :p ;)

lol no i printed off the image legrath posted, took it home, made the cable and then remembered the thread (well found it) just now when lookin through the list of threads :D cheeky monkey!

and as it is im guessing that the x-over cable cost me less than 5p to make cos the plugs were mine, the cable was nicked from work and the depreciation on the crimping tool would have been minimal :rofl:
