I purchased a Mandevilla last year. It grew in the Conservatory and was
most
spectacular with 100's of blooms. It struggled to survive the winter and
was
pruned in March. Many of the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I
have used insecticides, fungicides and given it a dose of Sequestrene all
to
no avail. I also gave it a foliar feed.
As it is a lime hater I have been watering it with water from a
barrel-could
this be the problem ?

Have you looked at the roots. Just guessing but I would say it's potbound.
They fill the pot very quickly and in that sense aren't great plants for
growing in containers unless you've got lots of room and big containers.
