I wonder if that offer will be extended to their UK subsidiary, Asda.

UK Distance Selling Regulations allow you plenty of time (7 days cooling off period) to cancel an order.

However, these are governed by UK law and may not apply to international transactions. I have no idea who's law governs this supplier as they do not state it in their T's & C's (I wonder why :roll.

That's a good start. Now we know the make, what's the model?

It would help us to help you if you told us the make and model of the slave flash.

Perhaps I misunderstood the OP. I thought the "Did it work?" was referring to "Does the image show?", which it doesn't. I haven't reviewed the image.

EDIT: Now I have, and I agree with mikew, way too gloomy & dark. Maybe it can be rescued though.

With regard to the sensor heating issue, my K-7 should get a good test in the coming weeks as we disappear off to Provence for a couple of weeks

So will we be required to critique holiday videos now then

Oh no ! ! ! Especially if they are anything like mine.

Perhaps we now need another forum on here - Pentax DSLR Video ?

You Tube, watch out . . . .

No it didn't work.

I think it's undeniable that the K-7, other than in reviews which praise it highly, has attracted quite a few complaints.

If the K-7 users of this form can be considered a "representative sample", I think the incidents of failure, no matter how small, is actually quite high when compared to previous Pentax DSLR's.

I've seen a number of different problems reported. The main one seems to be the single green line appearing down the centre of the frame. Usually after switching from video to still.

why is it that the pop-up flash cannot be used to trigger "dumb slaves" ? And in my above scenario, couldn't the AF160 be replaced by the pop-up ? If not, why (since only one flash is needed) ?

The pop-up flash is P-TTL only and will always produce multiple flashes and can't be used as a manual flash. The dumb slaves would fire on the first flash that they see which is not the flash used in the exposure.
