Being a Vauxhall Movano should be a big enough theft deterrent in itself.

Maybe identify where the control module is and check for water ingress. As said diagnostic equipment should allow you to test the system but it has to be very good equipment which most dont have.

I cant answer why the voltage is low on it but faulty equipment can bring down the can network and cause all manor of problems.

Not been in an accident has it? Its known as seam sealer.

Ideally short term will cycle around 0 plus or minus 10% in an ideal world. Plus is adding fuel. Maybe you have an air leak if idle is high.

You need to go back to basics and check if the starter solenoid is getting the correct voltage. A test light made from an old headlight bulb is useful for this, something to put a load on the circuit.

Makita are good and it makes sense if you have the batteries, as above though regarding tight wheel nuts, only the really beastly ones will stand a chance of doing them.

It would be a no from me, looks like it sees a lot of salt where you are.

I have an 18 volt Ryobi and it will fail with an even slightly over tightened wheel nut, some are better than others though. I do use it on installing wheel nuts but always just make sure its on its lowest setting for tightening and then check with the torque wrench.

KKD Devils juice is a good acidic wheel cleaner, if that doesnt shift it nothing will and may require the use of a clay bar and some polish.

Bilt Hamber Autowheels is the best wheel cleaner ive used but it did struggle with some really baked on stuff i tried it on. Wonder Wheels acidic version is worth a try as suggested, not sure if halfords sell it these days.

I think a lot of cars dont have a sensor in the tank so worth checking before doing any major work.

I think the italian tune up can also make things worse due to more soot but maybe thats just an old wives tale. The correct procedure is to drive it with the revs raised slightly for longer periods as suggested earlier in the thread.

May pay you to get a diagnostic tool that will let you see the soot levels, pressure differential etc.

Prepare a few weeks in advance next year, oil change, air filter, can of forte and a good run. Wont hurt to use the Forte treatment every 6 months.

Cheap aftermarket dpfs are not very good so just take care with what you buy if you do. The cleaning may work fine done properly. What sort of mileage are you doing?

You could go headlining but its probably a similar distance so the cable may not reach, im not sure if they do extension cables. I dont think you will get it though the grommets so may have to put up with it popping out near the parcel shelf somewhere, i would say going through the lower section...

Find an easy to work on car, get a haynes manual and start with basic servicing. Avoid buying anything with engine management lights on which have a description "its only a sensor needed" Something like a Mazda Mx5 would be a good car but sadly the rust is an issue so you need to be careful.

Once fixed take the opportunity to get rid of it, you will thank me later.

Just to add if you hover your cursor over the extra lettering etc it will explain what they mean, in the case of that hankook its to do with extra load and lettering.
