You should get rid of any triangles you have in that section.
Also add a couple of extra cuts next to that area to ensure its gonna have a hard edged look.
Same goes for the area on top. Make sure that there are edges running along there.

I still don't really get it, i know it is a lot to ask but to you reckon you could draw on where i need to cut, i have tried cut a few different ways but have had no look!

First of all you have triangles that are converging to a point, which will either make for a smooth gradient (not a hard edge) or it will pinch the mesh.

Secondly I notice that some of your edges terminate abruptly. You should always try to add full edge loops when doing a high poly model (sometimes it's ok, like on flat surfaces).

I would also recommend using a basic material with a high spec so that you can see any 'pinching' or defects on the high poly mesh.

Hopefully this pic will help, it was hard to try and draw how to get rid of the triangles though, you'll just have to play around with it.
