Lol, fair play.
Do they not work with the door open?

I'd be inclined to check and probably replace the door switches tbh. Although I'm sure the interior lights should work with the ignition on "accessories".

Fiddled about with the door switches, got the passenger one working so swapped them over, but the 2 smaller lights don't work still and main one still won't work from the switch when engine is not running

That sounds very strange, the only thing I can think of is the contacts in the ignition barrel? Is everything else working ok and have you checked the fuses?
Just noticed your in Dunstable, whereabouts? I live near the Ewe and lamb.

There was a dirty/stuck door switch which I've now sorted, the light comes on now when I open the drivers door, passenger side still not working, but I don't care too much about that coz I don't sit that side.
I'm just the other side of Dunstable, off Drovers Way
