Decided to resolder the socket pins where they join the PCB, even though there is no sign of movement or cracking.
Luckily this is dead easy and only takes a minute or two - take the unit out the car, lever out the one busbar that slightly gets in the way and work along the 6 pins with a small soldering iron melting and adding a spot more solder. They are fairly close so be careful not to short together. Push the busbar back in and reinstall. Worked OK with no flickering or faltering and no amount of wiggling could make it go wrong.  Fingers crossed - again.  PS Realised I'd hijacked a thread in the exterior lighting section  . Any follow-up will be here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9097
