Many thanks for all the replies - I haven't yet tried all of them, but they all 
look worth following up on, much food for thought here:

* Several people suggested SITUS COLORES, which I shall certainly try and had 
not heard of until now.

* The program ESSENS, from the Uppsala software factory, can perform a phased 
molecular replacement search which may be suitable for this kind of problem.

* There were a couple of votes for the use of FFEAR, which I have tried 
unsuccessfully, although it is likely that I am not employing it correctly, it 
seems like a very versatile program.

* The use of UCSF Chimera was suggested - I use chimera all the time for making 
figures, but had not thought of using it for docking, thanks for the suggestion.

*Randy Read suggested a procedure involving cutting out the density that forms 
the search space, converting it to structure factors, then performing a 
rotation search in PHASER and a phased translation search using FFT to dock the 
model into the density.

Cheers,
Oliver.
