b) within around 5 minutes, have acquired sufficient satellites (S/N >0), to lock on to GPS time, calculate location in the southern hemisphere, and start to download the almanac
c) after around 10 to 15min, the almanac download will be complete.

I then set the location to the nearest street corner, go for a calibration drive, and within about 3min of driving everything is fine.

If I was you, I'd be taking photos of the damage done to your vehicle to be used as evidence.

From your error messages, the antenna is connected plugged in) but is not working (not receiving). Antenna damage is the likely cause.
