Okay guys I think I'd leave the thermistor side as you also have ferrite beads on dropper that end and don't want to mess around with them.
Be easier I think from other end.
I'll have a play around today as I have quite a few resistors.
I was thinking of increasing R1 by a bout 300 ohms as C1 & C2 bit high. That should bring voltage down or not?
I also think due to the design it is what it is and unless I put a mains transformer in there somewhere the voltages are always going to be bit high.
Be interesting see how voltage will be affected.

Cheers Chris
