The headlights and rear lights are not working on the Saff. Any ideas what this could be ??? relay?

The indicators are fine and the rear number plate and dash lights all work.

Maybe something as simple as fuses? Have you checked them?

Should of said, fuses in fuse box are OK.

The dash lights and number plate lights are fed from one side of the sidelight circuit, so one side should work.
So out with the metre first, as you know you are getting 1 power FEED at the light switch stalk.
Therefore at least one side of the sidelight circuit is fine, assume the front sidelight on the good side works as well.
You may have just got a few blown bulbs, odd but it does happen if the alternator spikes as they can do, only ever had it once myself on a mini, blew the headlight bulbs but no others!!
I would check for power at the front/rear side tailights, then look for a FEED to the stalk from the ignition, that is ONLY live when the ignition is in position 2, as if this is missing the HEADLIGHTS will not switch on, this is what prevents the lights from accidentally being left on when you switch the car off.

followed you reply half way through, then got lost.

As far as i could see, no sidelights or main beam worked. I'll have a look tonight and do a few tests. And look for what ever relays there are for exterior lights
