So it seems it was caused by a short on the board within the LSM.
I had washed my car that morning but although I don’t have a sunroof I think water got in somewhere.
I was parked underneath Asda at the time so the main concern was that it would cause an evacuation etc.
Thankfully it was isolated to just the LSM and some melted dash.

Preventative measures would be to ensure there are no clips, coins or screws that could drop down behind the panel and find their way through the slats on the LSM unit.
Also, is it possible to perhaps retrofit a moisture plate above it, should water find its way in and run down?
Goes without saying, ensure sunroof drains are clear and there are no leaks around the screen.
