   Seems to be showing in some browsers but not in the most "popular"

   If I change the character set from utf-8 the feed then shows up but euro sign (which is in all posts) then changes to gobbledy gook.

   Deafened by the silence.
   As it looks like no one is interested, knows or cares I have now removed the direct link to the feed from the site.

   I think this for sure has something to do with images in posts. I've seen it in quite a few blogs now. Try making a post without an image, see what happens.

   aka_smith, images are important to the posts so if it doesn't work with images the feed is pointless.
   samboll, I am viewing in ie8.
   I also added the browsershots url so you can see in which browsers it is not working.
   As for patience, mine ran out after time spent trying to find out why something that was working is now not, which is why I then posted here.
   To be called patient, how long does one have to wait for a response?

   Yeah I agree images are important to rss feeds, just trying to narrow down the cause of the error. If you are up to it try making a post without the image, then see if the rss feed displays, then update the post with the image.

   Tried cutting number of posts in feed down to 1 and that post had no images.
   Still got the error.
   My subcribe to feedburner feed works fine and looking at browsershots http://browsershots.org/http://www.luxuryrealestate.co.uk/feed/ shows still working ok in some browsers.
   Frustrating.........

    Not an ideal solution, would prefer just using normal /feed/ in wp, but downloaded fdfeedburner and now feed is redirecting to feedburner.
