Well at long last sorted - some things I had not thought would cause a problem have - I am running it on one of our dedi's so I cant park the domain so have had to use redirects from the name host - This has busted some paths on external sites............
I am on 123 reg for name hosting it seems on their setup I cant use wild card redirects so for example an old link to the site may have been http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/AAAA/images/AAAA.gif well that fails but works as http://109.70.148.37/AAAA/images/AAAA.gif. I have managed to get all the old links to get you to the site but just something I had not planned as on normal parking you can do full redirects on wild cards but as my domain is just parked on their name host I have to use redirects - Have set the A records up but seems not possible on a redirect........
