Ok Thanks ..was just hoping to get it done today as I wont be going off the Island for the next few days (have a new pup I need to stick around )

So now its just the  question of how to identify my common wire?

The common wire is the wire that goes to every LED.
 
Hope that helps.

I've added another wiki page that shows the wiring:

Unfortunately it has rendered Steve's link dead.  (but he's ok with that!  :) )
Sure, everyone's always in favour of saving Hitler's brain, but put it in the body of a great white shark... oooooh, suddenly you've gone too far!

Thanks David (ands every one else)

That would seem to be the middle wire which is also the closest to the Input wires on the MFC..

Much appreciated

Cheers
