Anyone on my facebook will may have seen the post i put up last night, thankfully i didnt get very far before a mate let us know that i only had the right tail light working. No number plate lights and no left hand tail light. At this point, i left my car at mums and borrowed her Micra to get the kids home. 
That turned out to be a fuse, but still leaves the issue with starting.
Changed the fuse, tried to start the car and nothing, tried a couple of times before realising that the interior lights were REALLY dim (as if dead battery). Took a spare battery out to swap and try, as well as a voltmeter. When we checked the battery on the car, it was fine. Reconnected it, and all the lights were fine, and the car started first time, no problem.
I am at a loss to explain this, i can't see how the starter motor sticking would cause such issues? Feel free to correct me, but are there any other thoughts?
