I spent a few minutes playing around with the layout to make some quick and dirty changes to the track routing:
Added some curved traces to give it a 1970's look.
From the images you should be able to make the changes to your local Kicad files.
- Rotate Q401 anticlockwise
- Rotate Q407 clockwise
- Rotate C424 clockwise
- Aligned R411 and C417 so pads are inline with R413
- Rotate R431 anticlockwise
- Rotate R433 clockwise
- Move C421 down a bit
- Move R423 up a bit
- Rotate R407 clockwise
- Aligned C401 and R401 to the pads of R405
- Aligned R417 to C405

Look at your first error: 'missing connection Net Q407-B'.
You've drawn track(s) between R425 & C413, but not connected them to Q407-B. Kicad is showing you the ratsnest link from C413 to Q407-B... connect that and it'll probably be sorted.

Not sure whats happened here as the rats nest wants to go over the other side now and a load of faults have shown up
seems to be going from bad to worse for some reason.I correct an error then aload more come up after-a bit frustrating
Not sure whats going on here.I correct faults then it just gives me a load more 'does not match copy in library?? ive already taken this resistor out on the scheme and replaced it but it still comes back the same, so i give up.
The reason for the error for JP1 is that it appears to have been modified the two pads are one footprint, it looks like the pads have been separated so it throws the error that its different.
Change JP1 on the schematic and add two pads and move them to the respective locations on the pcb.
Add "GND" symbols to your schematic.
You may have to increase the text sizes on the pcb to match the design rules of the pcb manufacturer.
Ensure the design rules in the pcb board setup meet the design rules of the pcb manufacturer.
It makes routing a little easier if you set the grid to 0.1000mm.
The ground plane on the bottom layer is missing.
I suggest you make changes to the layout as per post #281.
I fixed most of the errors, you just need to replace JP1 with some pads and add the ground plane back to the bottom layer.

I have no idea what you're doing now - and I won't have Kicad access for most of the next month, so attached is your layout, as you posted in #273, but corrected for everything except the transistor sizes. I strongly suggest to correct those still (they will be a nightmare to hand-solder as they are) - but only do one at a time, and make sure it's correct before moving on to the next.
I see 'Indiglo' has already replied while I was typing (thanks 👍) - so feel free to follow his suggestions instead and/or as well, I'm sure they're good.
not sure how the ground plane has gone, it was there.Bit confused about the 'JP1' bit as this was how goldie showed me to do it and it was ok.
I recon this is pretty good now.Ive changed the footprints of the transistors/resistor and capacitors where they were a bit small and tidied it up.
Some of the improvements suggested by Indiglo would help 'tidy' the board a bit more, but otherwise (and provided you've already input all the JLCPCB requirements I gave you before) from a JLCPCB production perspective it should work. The remaining JP1 error is irrelevant for the Gerbers as far as I know (you'll be fitting a free wire link, so the exact geometry of the 2 pads is less relevant).
I did all the JLCPBC stuff a while ago, so i guess thats it, im not going to mess about with it anymore
so is there anything else i need to do with this.How do i go about getting it made?
I obviously need 2 of these, so do i need to do the whole thing again from scratch for the other board or can it be duplicated/copied with the other boards references?

As I've already told you, I'm now travelling, with no access to Kicad - but in any case, I have already answered all of these questions. If you can't be bothered to take notice of information I've already provided, then I'm afraid I will no longer be repeating myself.
