Privet hedge problems

I'm no great gardener: I now need expert help! My main achievement has been - to plant and grow a length of Privet hedge that's been established for about ten years. But last season - plants stared to die off, from the middle and moving progressively outwards at a rate of a couple of plants a month.
The leaves went yellow then mottled brown; the leaf veins went black; then the leaves dropped off; and the wood became brittle. I dug out the dead/dying plants and a few healthy ones either side; and I took out the chopped-down plants' roots. I've read about Honey Fungus but could see any black 'bootlaces'. Now: this lurgy has struck again, in a totally different part of the hedge.
...any advice on what I can do...?
