own solidworks 2004 paid subscription ie telephone support and updates last year of about £1000 - think this is a bit steep, any advice welcome on where i could get a good advisory service or books etc to help me along.

You could thank yourself for not getting Pro/E which has a small maintenance fee of nearly 1.5 times the SolidWorks amount....Of course you could have gotten AutoDesks Inventor and save about $100us, but you probably would have gotten a lot less features and had more reason to use tech support.
And you don't have to pay it if you know the product and have no questions. Folks like that pay because they want to get the latest service packs and major releases without having to buy the software over and over.
