Can anyone please recommend a fine, light weight, soldering iron for PCB work, the one I currently have is to big, and heavy, for a job I need to do.

Antex irons have a good selection, before I had a workstation I used theirs. Been around for yonks and can recommend them.

Thanks for the information.
The first job I require it for is in a car, connecting two PCB's together, so I'll be working with limited room, and the job is delicate, you don't want to mess up a cars electrical system:-Cgrin
That's why I require one that is light, easy to use, but can still do the job, the ones suggested sound perfect.
