So I got the new car... bought it privately... few niggles but a good price and I'm confident they can all be sorted. First niggle; the previous owner had had the radio aerial removed from new (for religious reasons) so I figured I'd get that back up and running. Installed a parrot in the V50, so the floating dash didn't scare me off.
So, set out the redneck mechanics PLC workshop :)

Make sure I've got access to my instructions, and plow ahead... ...after using the intertubes to figure out how the gearknob came off.

There are 10 screws in total holding down the centre console, 2 at the front of the storage bin, 4 under the gear lever trim, 2 behind the radio trim and 2 on the back of the floating dash. (All T25)
There are then 2 more T25 screws holding the radio in.
Remove radio and reconnect aerial lead like so

In the best Haynes style "reassemble as reverse of removal" then brush away years of accumulated crap, before testing
