Cheers Andy, I've been doing some paint repairs on my estate and the paint i was sold by the paint suppliers was supposedly Y474  10L and was labeled to that effect, but try as hard as i might i couldn't get it to match up properly. Anyway took the car and the paint back to suppliers and they say theres nothing wrong with paint and it's the right match. They mixed some more to the correct formula and it came out a different shade to what they mixed originally and matches perfectly the paint on the car.
