I just opened it up and tweaked the antennae cable which was attached fine to the wifi chip.
Restarted it and the wifi held for 7 minutes (youtube video) before dropping and reconnecting isn't possible immediately - I suspect strongly that the chip is overheating each time. I doubt putting a small thermal pad on the chip would help but maybe it is an option. Seems likely the chip is just faulty tbh.

But my Wifi is still basically dead so I can only use the laptop on LAN currently - does anyone know of a proprietary version of the wifi driver that I can try?
And you didn't accidentally toggle the privacy switch for wifi/bt?
As I wrote in the previous post it stays connected for 5-10 minutes after a reboot then crashes. It then doesn't work again without a reboot. Prob overheating. Thanks for the suggestions though.
