Was a bit annoyed to say the least that this might have happened, but finally managed to do some work on the car as one of the fuses kept blowing. With screwdriver in hand, I decided to check all the windscreen contacts, and things may be looking up. Removed the courtesy lights to reveal this:



There is another one hidden over to the right. I then had a 'really' good look at the lower contacts that were peeking up. To my surprise, they appear to be connected. I just have to wait until the temperature drops to see if it all works.

Note the black goo on the trim. This is what was holding the lights in place, as the front retaining clips had been snapped off previously.
