Faulty Canon 18-55mm IS kit lens
Took nearly 6 weeks for the failed part to arrive from China, but finally reassembled my kit lens, and so far, it appears to be functioning normally again, and the auto-focus is working fine.
Despite Canon denying there is anything wrong with these lenses, when my auto focus suddenly failed, a quick google search when I got home revealed this wasn't an isolated problem.

I paid about £5 for a couple of new flexible connecting leads, and managed to fit them myself using a few youtube tutorials. I must confess, it was tricky, but not impossible for the DIY'er. I already had a cheap set of jewelers screwdrivers, and that was all I really needed.
