Edit: Sounds like you need to append this on the end of your link selector:
:link
E.g.:
.current-menu-item a:link

Thanks Andrew, I tried that on my main nav with this:
nav.primary ul li .current_page_item a:link,
nav.primary ul li .current-menu-item a:link {
background-color: #000 !important;
color: #fff;
}
but a rule higher up is still overiding it. My site’s temp domain is: printmakerscurated.co.uk

First looks like there shouldn’t be a space after “li“, e.g.:
nav.primary ul li.current_page_item a:link,
nav.primary ul li.current-menu-item a:link

Thanks – I just corrected that, but unfortunately it’s still not working

Just wondering, where did you put this CSS?

Right at the bottom of my stylesheet – as I wanted to make sure it was overiding everything above it

You’re right – although I have no idea as to why it isn’t showing as I’m just uploading the stylesheet to the theme folder via FTP.
I’ll investigate some more…

If it’s still inexplicable check if your hosting providers are caching your site.

OK, I had 2 copies of the stylesheet going on! But I’ve resolved this, and can now see the CSS in the source, but it’s not working.

And I just cleared my cache and it works!
Thanks very much for spotting my errors Andrew.
