I might be on to a cause (and therefore a solution...)

I happened to be flicking through the vehicle manual on the weekend whilst looking for a way to change the DSP sound preset (got the original nav) and came across an index reference to EBV....

The manual states that it is a booster for the braking force to the rear wheels to assist the vehicle stopping straight particularly at speed with extra pressure. Been doing some digging and it apparently relates to an electrical harness/contact on the right rear wheel being rusty somewhere...

Have to replace a plastic retaining clip on the rear axle for the brake lines so as soon as it comes in am going to see what I can find....
