The big white gap is an image slideshow not just a massive gap.

If anyone an help me get this working it would be appreciated.

Updated your code to make it work.

you need to use .review > a:hover + #dropdown1 to change the visibility.

#dropdown1 {
  visibility: hidden;
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 208px;
  left: 345px;
  z-index: 10;
}
#dropdown1:hover {
  visibility: visible;
}
#dropdown1 > li {
  width: 861px;
  float: left;
}
.review > a:hover + #dropdown1 {
  visibility: visible;
}

problem is your menu is too far away to stay visible when you leave .review. you need to bring the menu up closer or use a thick white border at the top so it still looks spaced how you have it
