Vigin media is notorious for their bridge mode not working properly.
what I'd try as a test (prior to returning extender)
Put the virgin media in router mode. (disable its wifi)
Then connect the R8000P to it in access point mode.

Too late for any more actions - boxed and ready to be picked up tomorrow.
Thanks again.
