The metal bit is missing off my wire, holding it in with some tape at the mo but any ideas where I can get one? or even what they are called! or if anyone has one gong spare PM me!! thanks!

Perhaps you mean a satellite 'F connector' / 'F plug' / 'F-type coupler' ?
Do a google for some pictures of it. I think you can get them in many places (ebay?). They are also supplied with some satellite extension cables (e.g. from Argos). Thats all I know!

Correct, they are called " F " Connectors, you will be able to get one from any Aerial Contractor or from Maplins.

They only cost a few pence.

B & Q have them as well. I extended my indoor cables using stuff from there.
