So on the right hand side of me monitor about three inches in I have a thin green stripe running from top to bottom of me screen.
What is causing this ?? Have reinstalled graphics drivers --- no change. This shows up all the time. However I have done screen shots and this does not show up in the captured picture. Is it me graphics card or a fault on me monitor ?

Does it happen from the moment you turn the PC on, i.e. even in the BIOS? If so it could be either (graphics card or monitor) - I'd try plugging it into another PC to be sure.
If it is the monitor, it should be under warranty (as I think it will be a 3 year one)

Well I finally phoned PC Buyit the site I bought me monitor from. They answered the phone straight away, guess I was lucky there. A very nice chap answered. Gave me all the info I needed and reasured me that the monitor was covered by the 4 year next day on site warranty. Told me that it was a fault that occoured infrequently and that most likely that I would get a replacement monitor probably with a newer model. I was very impressed with the phone conversation.
Am now going to ring the Dell number and see if their service is as good.

Finnaly got around to phoneing Dell today I was waiting untill I had a full free day for delivery which will be Monday. I must say I am impressed. Spent 4 mins on the phone and they are sending me a new monitor on Monday. Don't know if I will get an upgrade as it all depends if they have my monitor in the warehouse. So I'm keeping me fingers crossed.
Well done to Dell.
