2017 Ranger Rover Autobiography V6 TD

My running boards both sides are not deploying and housing correctly. Do I have to reset them or something.

There is a reset, yes - but it's more likely that the motors / gearbox / pivot points are binding and need a strip clean & lubricate.
The reset procedure should be in your handbook if you have it, otherwise https://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com/ should give you the info you need.

Well my exhaust was hot! - just had to take mine out for it's monthly-ish DPF regen drive, entirely caused by short weekday journeys and not-quite-long-enough weekend journeys, at least with the amber warning I can go for a ~30 minute drive to get the soot level down to 4g/m3, it also prevents oil dilution to do just one 'active' regen, rather than lots of failed ones.

DPF is the work of the EU... A bad solution for a minor (in the context of the emissions of the vehicles they're fitted to) problem. The premise is that they store up soot whilst you're driving in traffic / urban areas and then push it all out when you're driving on the open road. i.e. in the areas where crops are grown... Then there's the issue of the size of particulates that escape the filter are so small that they can go straight into your blood without being filtered by your lungs. Thanks EU.
