So - just got the car back from after the fitment of two replacement 4C front struts... Car is showing no errors and is finally transformed...
I also got my favourite Volvo independent to fit me a set of re-furbed Orestes 17 inch with Big fat tyres 50 profile... It's gone even more sleeper now... still pulls like a train though with that D5 growl.
Donut magic carpet like ride, but with working 4C 2 mode suspension.
I got frustrated at the ride on the 18's in the end and I think while they looked great, they are 100% aimed at a younger audience...
I've just listed the 18 after markets if you want to get them and try... offers on ebay.

For now, car is fantastic, ride and comfort is on another level...
You might also notice a couple of other tweaks, fitted Volvo OE Mudguards and Wind Deflectors...
Thanks again to all the posters and responders on this journey for all your support and for a 3 month project turning a 4 year Non Runner with No Drive... into what I have now a known quantity...
worth saving the Mechanics said... and I think I have to agree! Cheers.
I'll be back when the next error shows up!
