Adjust it till it's loud and rattly, then back it off until the rattle
just stops and just a buzz remains.

Hmmm, ok.
I found that mine rattled like buggery regardless after oiling, and I
had to take them apart and un-lubricate them a little.

Nothing like a bit of friction damping. ;-)

I wonder if this 'adjustment' is a bit temperamental and therefore why
a) it seemed to work some of the time (though never 'well') and b) why
so many people took theirs back to Argos, some folk even having
multiple replacements?

Was there a manual to read (as I can't see one now and I do usually
keep / read such). I just looked on the Wahl UK site and can't see
anything on there either?

There was one, but I've lost it :-(. Mine are probably 15 years old now-
I inherited them from my Dad, and he's been gone for 12 now.

From memory the screw thingy adjusts an armature closer to an
electromagnet- the 50Hz mains through that produces the vibration.
