Hi Ray, I discovered a hidden preference in Nebulosity with has now made version 4.3 rock solid. Simply uncheck "use seperate capture thread". That's it, magic!

So to change the gain from default for a different item in the play list going back to the Indi setup panel camera tab and scrolling to the right to find the controls tab and changing there before adding the item to the playlist. So do not accidentally close the Indi set up window after it starts, or any window really. I also found the two different dither settle settings, ( thanks Colin) one for the dither and settle before guiding and one for the settle of guiding before capturing another frame. A bit complex but that is the way it works.
Once PHD is started and connected, if external guiding is selected , then guiding can be done by selecting guide in the Ekos guide module , selecting the correct camera, which takes over PHD2. I already had PHD2 set up and calibrated first.

Thanks for that, I'll have a play with it - will also try PHD2 again, although I thought I had it right?
Mind you it was 2am when I finished up, so I may have been overtired by that point
