In all honesty I dont know. Going on what the ISP said.
Having said that I just had success thanks to your input.
I found an old database backup and restore it and it all started working.
However, there is another issue that you may now be able to answer:

1. The blogs I wrote have gone since i restored database. The database backup was from a while ago probably before the blogs were written. Is that it or can I do some clever jiggery pokery to extract data from one database into another?

From speaking to the ISP it would appear that the database is in good shape. If that is the case, what is the process for re-establishing the connection? Not sure what to search for in reference to this in google.

No did not restore database.
What is held in the database, just user credentials?
If so, there were only 3 and now there is 1.
Is there a method of getting the wp-config.php file to just look at the new user i created and sort the permissions? Assuming thats it?

Thanks for come back chaps.
Yes i tried that and still fails. Played around with the permalink settings and still nothing.

I have been looking closely at my .htaccess file as i was wondering if the link between WP restore and the database may have been lost.

It must be a silly permission issue, surely?
