I can now see about 3 feet then there is an obstruction, which is cement bridging the two walls above the DPC. The only way to get this out...

Trickyt has hit the nail on the head; the root cause if this problem is due to the incoming mains only having a diameter of 15mm. So I cannot get enough throughput though a 15mm pipe and I am avoiding the expense of having the drive dug up and the pipe replace with a 22mm.
