OK, so I've "partially freed" the trim panel and had a peek behind and can see the alarm horn. Might investigate further later, it's a bit damp here at present!

A few inches below the alarm there's all sorts of stuff, much of it shrouded in a black foam casing, with some green tubing. Is that the central locking pump etc.?
I can also see a fair bit of silver VERY non-OEM gaffer tape, so someone has been in there before for some reason. I think there was once a carphone kit installed so maybe it's from that.
