Could possibly be faulty headlight switch.

Take your headlight switch out (pair of slim screwdrivers or ideally trim tools). Uplug it and give it a shake next to your ear. If it rattles, it's knackerred.

Edit to add: Check your fuses as well, a blown dashboard fuse can cause some seriously random occurances.

thanks for that ill try in morning ,cheers :-)

If the switch design is similar to the mk1 Golf, it overheats internally over time and the action of operating the switch wipes the molten plastic and copper debris around causing all sorts of mischief.

Just to make matters worse, there are 3 different types of Mk.2 headlight switch which have different pin locations/functions.
