Yea ive priced around 120 for a genuine lamp ,well so they said .The projector needed a good clean hopefully it will be fine ,if not ill send it off to be repaired .Might actually get round to changing my 1080 projector lol.

Thanks for replying .I will try the new lamp fingers crossed but worst case scenario ill send it off to be repaired ,

Quick update,New lamp fitted and its staying on .Its going back to Sony for a proper clean and re align of the lcd panels .Turns out the Sony measures the resistance of the lamp and that's how it knows how long its been on
