Vantage steering wheel phone buttons not working.
Discussion
My 2014 V8VS steering wheel phone control buttons have decided to stop working.
My phone still connects via bluetooth, and I can make and receive calls from the phone or from the joystick button on the console.
Normally, the buttons on both sides of the steering wheel light up as soon as the car ignition is on. My cruise buttons on the right-hand side do light up, but the phone/volume buttons on the left-hand side only light up when pressed, although they don't actually do anything.
Any advice on what might be going on here? I very rarely use these, but I'm sure they were previously working correctly.
Thanks.

Most likely is the 'clock spring', which is the means of electrically connecting the steering wheel to the column. Fairly easy to replace (I have just done madam's Disco 3), but be prepared for considerable expense for a genuine part - say £150 if you can find a Ford/Volvo/JLR equivalent.
