Apols for dodgy html folks :$
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
#page { background: url("http://souterconsulting.eu/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
</style>
it looks like you have some inline css in your header.php file where you’ve told the background image to repeat…
repeat-y tells it to repeat the length of the page, no-repeat would make it display only once

Many thanks for the advice. This post now shows that the image doesn’t repeat, and that will probably do for now, as I plan to implement Thesis asap!
I’ve also thought that, from the dev blog I have, I could download the Default / Kubrick theme files and upload them to the live site (if necessary to restore the live site to pristine.
Another observation is that I need to do some kind of source control with the Theme files – I don’t think they get backed up with the DB Backup plugin that I use (or I’m not using it properly…!).
Many thanks again for your help. 🙂
