In the end I brought the panel to an auto electrician and required a replacement panel which i sourced second hand from Spain (surprisingly very few out there). Thanks everyone for help cheers

ok so update time. I have the panel off and found corrosion in the ignition switch which seems to have caused a short in the panel as the connections looked ok for the rest of the electirc s( indicator switched etc . so i guess i will be looking for a replacement panel for a 2008 , any suggestions cheers
