Have you done an Upgrade install on the local site? (localhost/yoursite/install). Select Upgrade install and say no to installing the sample site.

Well done - I did the upgrade and I can now see the site.
Only problem is drop down menu is wrong colour, apart from that it is ok.
I feel kind of stupid for not thinking of it earlier. Sorry you had to suffer for so long, but I’m glad you got it sorted.
The drop menu color would most likely be in a custom CSS file from the remote site that’s missing or misplaced. If you do a "view source" you should see where it’s looking for the CSS file. The code for that would probably be in the template and the cure might be a <base href> tag.

Downloaded 2 css files again and local site is now same as the one on ISP Server.
Moving site from server to localhost.
To start with I followed the instructions here:
http://modxcms.com/moving-sites-to-new-servers.html
but that does not mention doing an upgrade install - should it?

Thanks for mentioning it.
