Bessa R2 Meter going mental

Hi guys, my Bessa R2's meter started playing up the other day. I cocked the shutter and then semi-depressed the release button to take a reading, and the light instead of being bright and bed and staying on, was flickering like a bad bulb and very very faint. It also didn't stay on when I stopped depressing the release. I gave it a bit of a shake purely because I was out of ideas as to what to do about it and bingo it's all ok again!? Loose battery contact? Buggered meter? I don't know how long until it goes weird again so any suggestions would be great!

btw I live in the UK, if I do need to get it fixed, where should I send it to??
