Sure enough if i then go to that book and select 'download metadata and covers' in 'Edit Metadata' it finds the metadata and all good.

I have looked in the Preferences in the setting for 'Adding books' but cannot see which would be best to automatically 'download metadata and covers' when adding the book? What am i missing?
Nothing - there is no such option.

When a book is added it gets its metadata from within the book format file, or the file name, or via the calibredb -add command line.
