You need a minimum of 12.6 volts, 12.7v is fully charged, 12 volts is  a 10 minute run will do very little to charge the battery, leaving a charger on overnight or more is the only way to fully charge a battery. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

So my bad. Battery was exactly 12.7v but went for a spin anyway just to be sure. Updated the IID on the PC and then in the car, cleared adaption values. In the ECU Flash, ran a backup first then the actual flash update. Took about 7 minutes to complete ad all messages confirmed success.
Freaked the  out of me when during the boot up I saw a load of faults on pretty much everything appear but of course they were all cleared at the end of the update and all back to normal.
I appreciate the adaptive values will take a little while to build up again but went for a 15-20 minute drive around different conditions to get the ball rolling and see if there was any noticeable difference to the clunking. At first it was exactly the same, if not a little worse but I guess that would be expected having cleared all the previous values. By the end of the drive there was a noticeable difference i.e. a lot less clunking. Will see how/if this continues to improve over the next few drive cycles.
One question I did have was: In the ECU Infos list, my transmission didn't show multiple options, just one with no updates. Is this correct? For example in the compressor I have two options, Hitachi and AMK. Thought the transmission might be the same i.e. with the original rom and the updated one.
