So any long exposure, then. Tried a time exposure with the lens cap on? Different cards? Could be sensor or maybe in the data bus.

Tried taking a few test shots then with lens cap on. Doesn't matter what apeture or shutter speed is set its still there. ISO of above 320 results in that, below 320 results in a white dot appear on everything.

Picture to follow.

If it's worse at high ISO, I'd go with the sensor. Don't know what that'll cost, but probably (depending on the camera, which you haven't mentioned) less than a replacement.

Bought it from a local camera store here downunder.

Took it back and there going to send it off for repairs to canon.

6 Weeks at least now without a camera if I'm lucky.

Would of been better of buying my camera from like BH, sending it back over for repairs and get it sent back all quicker.

Just guessing here, but I think you have a short in your sensor array at that point and at higher ISO's it is messing up the entire line when it dumps into the bin at the edge of the sensor - that is if I remember correctly how the sensor actually works.

In any case, the sensor needs to be replaced if it is still under warranty.
