Thanks for all your input Steamship and MJ. Looks like a job for the weekend owing to lack of time and dicey weather. I think it is within my limited capability.

MJ can I substitute WD40 for contact cleaner?

Is it prudent to get hold of a new hazard flash unit if such an item is available?

Only had one small 'thump' in the gearbox happen last week when the traction control / abs went nuts whilst getting battered with snow up in Newcastle. Since then has been shifting smoothly. Will run another scan after the weekend's fiddling.
