The thing about line height is that it is relative and almost impossible to get it 100% perfect in every browser. What I find does help though, is instead of having line-height:; in the body {}, try replacing that with font-size:100%; in the body {}, then line-height:; in the ul {}.
Also, try using ems as your unit of measure.

it seems to work buddy but the font is bloated i.e its bigger than the rest for some reason - its because the font is at 100% but why doesnt it effect the other text?? I dont really know what the craic is with ems tbh i must look into it as i heard it is the only real way to have a truely fluid site.
oh and cheers for the help.

As renegade said theres no perfect way to make the line heights equal in browsers, maybe you also need to take a look at Ie hacks... you can actually assign a unique css call that only IE reads...
