Ok a quick update

I followed all advice as above and the only thing I can see is where the board had blackened behind those resistors all of the solders around that area were discolored - they looked more like a dull grey rather than everything else which looks shiny silver.

I wicked off the old solder and resoldered these joints. Amp back together and so far it works a treat.

I’ve ran it for a half hour without any problems.

So I’d reckon somehow those joints weren’t connecting properly as soon as there was a little heat or in the process of checking everything maybe I’d wiggled a power connection or something similar which has fixed the issue.

Hopefully that’ll be it for now - many thanks for everyone’s help!

Glad to be a help

Those little buggers are a pain and glad to hear you used solder wick on those traces ! I learned the hard way about using direct heat and a solder sucker and well lets just say it caused bad words LOL
