Can anyone recommend a decent soldering iron, there's lots on the market but which is likely to last?
 
I had a gas one from RS years ago & it's still going strong

Why didn't I buy my bus years ago !?
 
This is what I use on a daily basis: Farnell link but fitted with points for the rework tool.

I also have one of their SP200 models CPC link that is little better than a Weller station.

A lot of it depends what you want it for. Generally in my bus I use crimp connectors as soldered joints are not considered as good when there is a chance of wire flex near the joint.
