Dont worry I plan on getting to the bottom of it tomorrow, seems like its deffo being caused by the lights as I had it running without lights on and no smoke etc and no smell.

Soon as I turned lights on you could hear a very faint humming noise and it started to smell again, then the lights packed in.

Checked the fuses and they are fine, which is worrying really cos aint they supposed to blow to prevent shit like this ??

Took all the casing off around the steering and there was a couple of wires that looked like they had rubbed thru and touched, so I have taped these up to cover any naked wire

Only worry now is, all fuses look fine etc, I cant see any wires that have completely burnt thru but I still have no lights at all on the dash or headlights

Just hope it dont turn into a dash out job as I could do without that lol
