Yeah I read through that document and Disabled the Firewall on this server.....but has had no effect

Also the DirectoryServices_EngineReport.xml hasn't been any help in determinign why all these 20 elements of the BPA seem to fail....

Are you runn this on a DC? Have you tried running on another DC?

Run dcdiag look for errors.

If I run DCDIAG /TEST:DNS on the DC inquestion if fails on the Delegation Test, but it's strange as it's referencing a really old DC which taken out of service a long time ago....

TEST: Delegations (Del)
Error: DNS server: castle.mos.local. IP:<Unavailable>
[Missing glue A record]

I can't find any records of that old server (CASTLE) anywhere in DNS, AD Sites & Services, ADSI Edit etc!

If I run the same DCDIAG /TEST:DNS from another server if completes without any errors?!

I've been through DNS and removed any references to this old server (there were a few entires under the Reverse Lookup Zones)

Metadatacleanup (NTDSUTIIL) doesn't list this old server!
