Any ideas? Central relay/fuses? can't see anything wrong with them but possibly missing something?

Is there a fuse that controls all these circuits? That's the first place I'd look - fuse circuits are detailed in the owner's handbook.

If this fails I'd also consider checking/cleaning/replacing the main light switch as it's not the greatest quality item I've ever seen and is known to fail sometimes.

cheers lads

it's weird,not one of the interior lights work, even the door lights built into the doors - for when you open them up, nor does the boot light.

will take another look at things and check out the dimmer switch too.

might swap over from my other 855 and see if that makes a diff
