Hi, thankyou for your reply. I've posted some pics at:

use a shoddy web cam)
I suspected the soil was infected as I saw minute white bugs (like
centipedes).
The leaves were once dark green and they are very smooth. They have
since lightened and many of the leaves have brown tips.
When I repotted the tree the soil was very dry, but I assume the roots
were in good condition as they were very extensive. The roots were not
cut at all.
There will be not air pockets around the roots, I made sure of this.
I did not fertilize, someone recommended to me not to feed it until it
picked up.
The bonsai is watered when it looks as if it needs watering. Although
this is very intermitent. I would say the tree has been sometimes over
and under-watered. Since the replanting ive been keeping the soil very
damp. Using a jug I pour water onto the soil, its creates a puddle for
a few minutes then drains through the soil leaving it all moist. Excess
water is caught in a drip tray.
The tree is about 11" tall and has been kept indoor always for just
under two years since the day I got it. In its time it has been very
healthy - dark green leaves and it needed pruining quite regularly.
What do u mean by filtered sunglight? Does it need some kind of
protection outdoors?
Many Thanks, I really appreciate your time
Chris
