There was light corrosion on the pins & clip so I cleaned both in-situ but it still didn't work. Seems that the clip is quite loose & not exerting enough contact pressure against the pins. But the aluminium foil trick Mark suggested works fine. Just pushed some carefully folded aluminium kitchen foil between the clip & pins & all working now. So fortunately it didn't turn-out an internal corrosion problem (there is no evidence of leaks in the battery compartment either).

I presume the said clip isn't connected to anything internally? Am tempted to pull it off & then re-bend it so it isn't loose where it slips over the plastic ridge in the body.

Yes, it is just a floating piece of metal. It is probably still not making good contact.
