I'm still trying to find the best settings, I've been working quite well for over week but still unsure of what quality I should be getting.
The main problem for me just now is knowing the best heat setting, when I print at about 200 I find the extrusion dosent quite bond making the model look like bundles of fine thread, as I increase the temp that goes and the model certainly looks much more solid, I think with the gold coloured PLA I'm using just now I'm up at 235c would other users consider this a reasonable temp.

May not be best replying to my own post, but just in case others have the same question here's what I found.
on Thinyverse there is a printable tower, you adjust the extruder heat at the start of each section and you can observe the difference in each stage of the tower and select the temp. that gave best results. for my machine and purple PLA its best at 212 or there about. Here is a link to the Thingyverse item https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2223651
