Looking back through your posts and replies, I didn't see any mention of
bypass caps on the chip's power pins.
Do you have a 0.1 uf cap across the chip's power pins near the pins? This
is an often overlooked requirement.
Also, have you verified that the power supply is ok? With the PICkit connected,
is it powering the circuit? And again, does the voltage regulator have input
and output caps as shown in the data sheet?
Some common problems for PIC circuits are identified here:

You don't have a pull up on MCLR-

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have posted my schematic at:
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/oDCXTLojxFogamOWv3Agx20diqAYijFXSEWH1tpwAli0Pw-
0upxs7F_ZilMzWuTnLYEYc_loJ8XSmnNhwHL7P7izdh5ssA/Schematic.bmp
for examination.
I have measured the voltage to the processor and it is correct. I have
fitted a 0.1uF cap as close as possible to the processor, and I have
appropriate capacitors fitted each side of the voltage regulator.
Does anyone have any further ideas please?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Virgil,
Thanks for you reply.
R6 is the pull up for MCLR, and I have confirmed that MCLR is being pulled up.
Thanks

Hi,
I have held fire for a couple of days to be absolutely sure, but I seem to have resolved the problem. It was something to do with an inductor I had fitted to the psu.
One again I would like to thank you all for your time and suggestions.
