OK, I'm stumped. The blown bulb warning light on the dash goes on when I hit the brakes BUT only when the headlights are on. I've checked all the lights and they're all fine, put on the headlights and got the mrs to press the brake pedal, all lights come on, no others go off. Anyone else ever come across this?

You might need to go through the bulb relearn process. You need to do this every time you disconnect the battery:
1. Turn all lamps off
2. Remove and refit fuel pump fuse F23 from engine compartment relay housing to reset BCM and then replace fuse.
3. Start engine, let idle.
4. Switch park lamps on. Wait five seconds.
5. Press brake pedal and hold down. Wait five seconds.
6. Turn park lamps off. Wait five seconds.
7. Turn engine off. Release brake pedal.
8. Relearn completed.

Also check that all the globes are the correct type and installed correctly.

I could kiss you BlackVXGTS, in a non-sexual way of course. Had to turn off the negative to work on the electrics, turned it back on after a while, bulb blown light came on again with headlights and brake lights on, went straight to this and voila, fixed again. Good stuff :D
