Now the Contractors Network have taken all of our computers of their network and setup another local network with Internet access etc.. All computer are on a 192.168.10.x sunbet now.

Thanks for comments lads - But we have sorted it
The subnet that the computers were put on conflicted with our network subnets so the route always went through to the Tunnel on our network.
Changed local subnet to 10.60.10.x which does not conflict.
All working now.
