Yes, I suspect the 0V (no such thing as an earth on a car) or perm supply connections are not man enough.

Interesting you should say that. I've noticed a few issues which might be related. The backlighting behind the MID dims noticeably when, for example, the air con clutch pulls in or (I think) the cooling fans start. I had suspected a slipping aux belt or a poorly alternator / wiring but hadn't  considered something closer to the instrument panel because the big loads in both cases are confined to the engine bay. :-/
