Many apologies for not coming back again..(unexpected visitors arrived so not allowed to play ..). But, the ' bits of tape' had constant readings over the period, to give me an idea of any patterns. Anyway, may have found the fault. Emptied half a can of electrical contact cleaner down the ignition barrel and a good squirt of Chinese graphite powder. To date, nearly a week of healthy battery and no voltage fluctuations.

So, on the way to the test centre the suspension beeped a warning all lights flashing and then they stayed on - guy at the station said its not a problem as long as the car is on its bags and level which it was - and then the thing promptly ran out of petrol - the gauge reads half full when brimmed (not got round to it yet!) and I thought there was about a third of a tank full in it.....
So, yes another fine outing partly my own fault, though. Even with the lights on the suspension still seemed to be operating normally, compressor running, little occasional adjustment clicks now and again - so some research required as this is a fault which I have to date not had thrust upon me.
Off to the French alps for a couple of weeks now - it'll be there when I get back - they don't tend to mend themselves.

Good videos. Having greased mine 2 - 3 weeks ago I can say they are not worn, I couldn't wobble / twist anything. I tried! When I researched the P38 prop shaft short nipple issue I ground down my grease gun and got to the nipples in the narrow gap it took some force to get the black, solid crap to come out. All nice and honey coloured now.
Try looking at the height sensor arms. I've finally worked out what my rattle was.
Yes, quite often the little ball in the hole of the grease nipple seems to jam. Getting a small nail or piece of wire and pushing it in (it should be sprung) until it moves freely and then putting the grease gun on, pushing firmly as you squeeze the trigger and pump can help.
The remains of that Nissan Leaf you ran over and has been dragging along under the rear diff for the past hundred miles? Or was it the old granny in the mobility scooter?
I have also now put rubber caps over all the grease nipples to cure the "crap in the hole" problem 
And they haven't been flung off yet. I have taken it to a relatively questionable velocity to test if they stay on. Ahem...
I'm working by the way not sat here bored hahaha.

Hard to tell the difference sometimes.
I swapped out my steering damper as well when I did all four shocks and bags. I didn't know how "loose" the old one was until I installed the newer one. Miles better now that it's settled in.

Concluded my rear diff is goosed the rear near side wheel bearing is fine, i dissconnected the prop spun both wheels offside no issues nearside loud binding noises and vibration threw the axle and up the shock.
Sending my original diff in for a rebuild

Yes on the autos not fitted to manuals.
Presumably has similar role to the DMF? Takes out vibration.
