have you checked the multi pin plug on the back of the clocks?? sounds like a poor connection to me. worth giving it a check.

mine still does this occasionally too. with mine it is the wiring leading to the socket + I think the pcb is poor, as I didn't have problems so often when I changed the pcb to a spare one.

it might also be worth checking the earth crowns behind the fuse box.
