That's the alternator output.
Assuming that's with the engine running.

So its 12.4/12.5 engine off, 13.7 ish with the engine on.
Tried a hard reset, suspension now pumped up, but all other faults remain.

As Flack says your battery is definitely low. When you were dealing with the steering wheel I assume you had doors open etc. Assume also that in this weather you had all systems running high.
Would suggest you charge the battery fully and go from there.

Cheers.
Would driving it 50 miles today have charged it enough though?

Possibly if you were doing 40ish constantly and with no systems on. If you do charge your battery don't forget to connect the charger's earth clamp to the earth terminal (nut really) on the r/h inner wing just in front of and slightly lower than the battery.

I thought the passenger side washer jets were frozen, but just checked and the pipe had come away at the nozzle, so water has been all over the place inside the bonnet (and I have used ALOT of washes for the screen today as was on the M way. Also driving back from France due to spray.
Could something have got wet and caused this issue?
Could not see any water round the battery area though?
Or am I clutching at straws?
