Wire might be be worth a look, I've seen the wire to headlight bulb are falling apart, and the front door hinge area is a known weak spot.
I have had a bit of experience with liquid electrical tape

I think you guys are onto something. It only started happening after we had the latest heavy rain. Now it is drying out, the fault is intermittent. To the point I can make it happen. Going around RH corners (mainly roundabouts), causes the interior lights to come on and MFD indicator. Turning left makes them go out again
Not sure where the faulty wiring is though. Time to start doing some basic detective work O\/O
Whats happened is you have discovered the reason why they are $35 on ebay.
I got a full refund after reporting the part potentially faulty, so happy at least with that response.
Now that it hasn't rained for a while and I'm guessing any water in the door/wiring has dried out, it has returned to correct function again. Weird
An update on this. It has rained a few times since the initial issue, and so far (touch wood) the problem has not returned. The $35 ebay door lock seems to be working fine
