The first thing I would do is put a new battery in it, I would have thought that 78% was not within limit but that's just my opinion!! To do a full battery test takes at least 24 hours not just a stick it on charge for a while then see what it does...
These beasts are extremely vulnerable to electrical issues, they love a good fully charged battery or they throw all sorts of electrical Wobblies!! particularly dashboard lights that you haven't seen for years suddenly light up and join the party...
Stick a known good battery on it and see what happens.
Good luck, keep us updated.

Yeahs that’s what I am starting to understand.
The level of panic on my face was unbelievable when driving away.
What’s your opinion on AGM batteries for them. I have read quite a few posts and am inclined to just go with a normal Tayna battery.
Buts it’s got an AGM on it now.
Thanks!

I know nothing about the AGM battery, most people I know use the Tanya make, myself included.
Can you not borrow a known good one from your indi. just to see what happens

Exide 017 or 019 is plenty good enough for a D3, 019 is same fitting as 017 but classed as heavy duty, if doing a lot of short journeys particularly in winter an AGM would definitely charge faster and be superior.
Tayna are definitely recommended suppliers, usually next day delivery
p.s. Tayna is not a typo It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Well after receiving my Ctek 5.0 and putting it on charge overnight (make use of the Christmas light waterproof box!) this morning... drum roll... no warning/problems!
I assume this is the start of battery issues, but at least I can drive it without feeling like it’s going to break for another day.
You learn somthing new everyday!
Thanks for your help guys.
