ok well took a look at it.. as expected action is gone lol.. em m however it looks now like a real front bow..ie there is a dip in the middle of the fret board.. however is this because of the loosening of the truss rod?

Gently tighten the truss rod (while the neck is off the body) until the neck is straight, then let it sit for a day or two. Put the neck on and string it up, and see what your action is like Truss rod adjustment can be a trial and error processes.
Just a thought, you *might* consider replacing your truss rod nut with one of these:

That way you don't have to take the neck off to adjust it. Only requires very minor modification to the body and pickguard.

ah I have taken off the scratch plate and can now adjust with the neck on.. slightly tricky but not too bad.. I don't tihnk it's a problem with getting the neck straight.. like.. I don't think turning the truss rod can take the bow out of the neck.or whatever is wrong with it.. other possibility is maybe bridge problems aswell.. bridge is crap I think.. G string is too low..
