That will be why then, either a bad bulb, or more likely a connection problem (i.e. blue wire, most likely)

Yeah I did think it could be alarm / immobiliser, no idea how to test this though as my electrical skills are pretty poor will try and do a bit of research.
Hi Marty, sounds like something needs fixing then.
I had ignition off and doors all closed, not sure about relay, how long would this take and how would I know it had opened? I would guess it would have been at least 1 minute from turning engine off and shutting doors before testing.
Before testing the cables as stated in my last post, I first took each fuse out of the main fuse box under the bonnet one by one and tested the amp draw and it didn't change.
I take it after doing these steps it becomes a bit more complicated, I don't suppose you know of any likely culprits for a battery drain or could it be pretty much anything? Presumably by doing fuse test I can eliminate lights, wipers, heated screen etc...
Nope, won't be any of them as they are live on ignition. With what you have done, the next thing would be to look toward the alarm, although removing power from it can be tricky as it won't be wired into a protected circuit.
That's fine, it provides the delay on the interior lights, irrelevant as the power would have been removed in your testing anyway.
