To reply to myself. I swapped the router for a spare ADSL router and found that all the sites that had not been accessible were now accessible. As it wasn't an ASDL2+ router my connection speed fell by more than 50%, but at leas it confirmed it wasn't an issue with any of my PCs or my ISP.
I factory reset my old router and reconnected it to my ISP - with minimal configuration - and it still had issues. I can't flash the router as it's not an off-the-shelf model but an old ISP "tweaked" version that will not accept the latest OEM standard firmware. In the end I bought a new ADSL2+ router, configured it to my ISP and all is now well, I've got proper connectivity and it's even marginally faster than the original ADSL2+ router.
