Thanks people
Yes ive been after that one for a while now. I used Star Atlas pro to find it, it turns out to be almost due west of the Tarantula Nebula by a few degrees, so I put the scope on the Tarantula, moved west, and I could see the open cluster, and perhaps just a hint of nebulosity in the viewfinder. Its hard navigating in the LMC as theres lots of faint stars but not many bright ones.
