I found out what the fault was 1 of the bulbs was nackered after all. The drivers side rear connection on the lights was poor cleaned of corrosion and now all ok.

good to hear mate thought it would be something like that mk4 escorts are the worst for eroded connections

I know the mk 4 rear lights are bastards. I know the rear lights on both of my sierras,when they corroded if you press the brake pedal the little light on the rear fog light switch lights up then goes out.lol
