it found no fares yet I'd just found it before without the fare basis code.
any ideas.
While I can see how these advanced features are useful, I'm sure the lack of proper documentation is often frustrating
Fares are generally filed to CITY codes, not to AIRPORT codes. LHR is an airport code, while LON is the city code. The fare language lets you narrow things down to a specific carrier, market, and fare basis, but you need to know the actual endpoints of the fare (city or airport).
In this case, you want:
From: lax ::/ f aa.lax+lon.SLW7E3U
To: lhr ::/ f aa.lax+lon.SLW7E3U
Which seemed to work okay for me just now.
