Last year my phomium tenax which is growing in a tub developed really bad white mould I treated this with a systemic fungicide spay
however this year plant leaves are looking yellow and there is still a large amount of white mould at base of plant
any suggestions what I should do ?

Yes this picture is exactly like my plant, no signs of bugs looks like it could be worse case.....
I will try to divide and see if I can get a healthy piece. such a shame
Mealy bugs are a pain! They attack some of my succulents and I have yet to find a way of fully eradicating it. I have tried soap spray, wiping the woolly bits off with cotton wool dipped in soap & water/cooking oil & water and in desperation, spraying with Pravada. Nothing seems to fully get rid and I usually end up sacrificing the plant as it spreads to neighbouring plants. Verdun's advice is sound and as he says, wash out the pot thoroughly and use fresh compost.
Edd,
what is garlic spray? is this a home made recipe?
