Further to my last post the fan WAS the culprit, and this is how I fixed it ....
All of it was very straightforward, with only a couple of glitches which I will outline at the end! You will need a torx screwdriver set with an extension and a flat screwdriver.
Dismantle the printer:

1) Remove front cover panel (4.74-5.60)
2) Remove left side inspection window cover (9.40-9.60)
3) Remove media lever (10.15-10.54)
4) Remove and bag the inks (10.54-11.00)
5) Remove Network USB port cover (11.00-11.55)
6) Take off the end cover - various screws (11.55-13.04)
7) Remove cutter assembly (13.48-14.06)
This list will assist you greatly when you reassemble the printer!
The Electronics Module: Photograph all the wires first to ensure correct replacement!

This is the fan I used: Rapid X-Fan RDH8025B1 80 x 80 x 25mm Axial Fan 12V Brushless Ball Bearing.
The problems I encountered:
1) My supposedly magnetic torx set didn't seem to have much magnetism! Some of the screws are in very awkward places. Solution: I wrapped a little masking tape around the screw/bit and slowly docked the screw with the hole!
2) On the Module circuit board was a type of ribbon cable to the left - two of them in parallel. I pulled on the cable got a bit of a scare when the ribbon came away from the connector, but no harm was done. The contacts on this are easily damaged apparently, although I was lucky. I reinserted them by lifting on the beige connector ( I'm guessing this holds the cable securely in place), and then sliding in the ribbon carefully square with the board. When it's in place I pressed the connector back down securely. I powered up the printer with the case still off, and got error codes: 02.1:10. Looking up the code in the maintenance manual pointed to the Trailing Cable as the fault, and so I then noticed one of them was very slightly raised at one end. Re-setting the cable solved the problem.
This was actually a good days work for me - I guess around 8 hours. I took my time, and was just happy to save myself the hundreds of pounds call out bill! Thanks for all your help on this forum. Mark Lindquist's notes are here:
