I'm after some monitors for about £200/$400ish.
Any recommendations or tips would be great!

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ns-10s. MSP-10's if you must. there are way better speakers out there that give you small flat true sound than the ns-10's. and of the KRK speakers, the EGOSYS stuff is great. paradigm speakers for unpowered. the old yamaha's where unique for thier time but there is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better stuff available for us now-a-days for less money and with easier results for mixing. AND you won't have to pay some overblown "vintage" bullshit pricing thing that people seem to be attatching to ns-10's these days.

You missed the point of NS-10's.
But they're gonna cost more than $400 anyway
I don't care for 824's for rock/metal, but they KILL for pop/rap/r&b.

Hey guys cheers for all the help! You've been great!
I checked out the NS-10s but i read some things and it seems like they have an awful lot of character about them, something to do with using them at low volume to get them to sound true and that they boost the hi-mids a lot or something! I don't think i'd be able to cope with that! I'm only a newbie still!
Those Mackie's look damned good but I haven't got the cash to spalsh on those
The ESI's and KRK''s are more within my price and look like they could be quite decent so I'll try look out for a good deal on some!
Once again, cheers for the advice! And I'll get some new tracks recorded and upload them in the coming weeks so you guys can tear my mixes (and probably playing too) apart! haha!

ns10s are deffinatly full of character but the very forward mids make you pull that out of your mixes which eliminates the some of the harshness and leads to better translating mixes. They also point out more or less every thing bad about your mixes, which is what monitors are for isnt it?( i could have worded this better, but i didnt, so there)
trust me you never truly understand ns10s and why there so good/popular until youve done some serious mixing on them, its nice to use them in conjunction with other more modern monitors as a point of reference, and so you dont go to mid cut mental (or deaf) but id more than happily mix on just ns10s

I would bump up the budget for a 2.1 system. You got to hear those sub lows, because you surely won't hear it all with the nearfields. But those subs will be hear in that car stereo so you definitley want to hear them in the studio. Check out Blue Sky.
