this is not another 'can i play region 1 on ps3' question, rather the opposite. I have recently bought a UK ps3 40gb and it only plays region1 dvd/ region a blu ray. is this a software error? Does anyone need to know if I have to download anything to fix it?

Is the UK supposed to play region 1 dvds? If not, then there's your problem.

Oh, then that is weird. Only thing I can think of is that it's not really a UK system, or it's listed as a UK system but it isn't. I'd probably just call Sony for support or something.

The simplest thing you can do to help is simply take it back to the store and ask for support. Or ask for a refund (assuming you have the receipt) and buy a different PS3.
