@Rudolf - come on mate, time to man up!
Whats the lead free solder you use?
Ive tried a few lead free types and all were pants it seems; so Id be very keen on finding some that actually worked.

@HyperLiam - sounds alot like temperature. Same thing happened to me and it was down to an old 40W iron not holding enough temp for the larger wires. Heat jsut dissappated too quickly to make good joins.

Get down to B&Q, buy their 40W Stanley iron (think its like £18 or something) and, if it is temperature, you should be sorted.

HTH.
