Hi Dan,
Not sure if you see this. But on a whim/hunch I went out and bought a new battery and replaced it with the old swollen one in the computer. You can see here the coconut battery shows what happened.

Basically it fixed it! I am very happy man. Now the only remaining issue is the lack of keyboard light. For sure caused by the coffee spill. Would you have any idea whether that is relatively easily fixable? At this point it is just icing on the cake, and I am happy I got the macbook back to almost full functionality regardless.
Cheers
Simon
