SO, you need proper diagnostics.....to get live ecu values.

Are all the large connectors at the rear of the battery ok?

all battery connections ok. just noticed taped up strap hanging under front as ive moved it, its bolted to front crossmember and at a glance looks like it should go to bolt on engine by sump! have held it to engine whilst wife watches panel, no difference, but know engine earth straps well known for breaking and causing problems. bolt snapped off so will tap it out in morning.

Earth straps not known to cause issues on Omegas but...not a good thing!

So, one fault found to address.
