Done a reformat, still the same.
Using cmd+shift+v
boot-args = -v
** /dev/rdisk0s2 (NO WRITE)
** Root file system
Executing fsck_hfs (Version hfs-285
Blah blah.....
I/O error rdisk0s2
Then it hangs at the boot screen again with no progress at all.

Page with instructions that resolved issue so far: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
power off
get ready with cmd-alt-P-R keys
power on
immediately press cmd-alt-P-R keys all togehter
release them when computer reboots
May need a PRAM batter replacement if that problem persists.
for example ebay £4.95

and tools £4.45

I put mine in the dishwasher and it wouldn't work any more.
