Simon -

How do you know what you "should" be getting?  What is the source of the reference values you're using?

Hi

I have just noticed that I am about 100 meters out of what I should be getting.

53.333889, -1.968552 => 1044152, 2100526

53.334186, -1.968341 => 1044169, 2100558

can anyone think of anything that might improve the accuracy

I am using the method _pj_fwd(...); after the initalizing the params

+proj=lcc +lat_1=44 +lat_2=54 +lat_0=49.08516574 +lon_0=5 +x_0=1507373
+y_0=1607866 +datum=WGS84
