Please explain how a line issue would affect the switch ports on his
router.

Please explain where in his post he mentioned that this was the problem
Or why he thought a new faceplate would fix an ethernet port, or why he
bothered to mention his ISP if it was an internal network issue.

"We have always experienced lots of slowdowns / crashes ostensibly down
to the router. Poor ventilation and consequent overheating seems to be
a general problem,(current router is a Belkin "G" MIMO that has
pathetic tiny little ventilation slots so cooks itself).

I've tried about 8 routers from the 7 quid variety upwards but from
the point of view of this problem there has been little to choose
between them.

In an attempt to improve this we have had a combined ADSL faceplate
/filter fitted and the router lead replaced by a single short length
(50cms, no joints). Speed is now very good but there has been no
improvement in overheating/slowing down/crashing situation.

The Broadband provider is Talktalk which may / may not be the best,
but restarting the router has always been a fix and when the router
crashes the LAN side goes down as well, so kinda hard to blame this on
Talktalk."
