Thanks for the info tedster.

I check over the things you mentioned and all where ok apart from:

3. Do you use a "custom" 404? If so, does it return a 404 in the http server header?

This was returning a 302 response to the home page, i assume wth 302 being a temp redirect its making the 404 page look like dupe content of the home page?

Anyhow have now fixed this and its returning a true 404 response.

How long is a piece of string and how long do you think it would take for yahoo ad google to remedy this hiccup which is affecting my rankings.

thanks
