ok car is sorted now-
The lights on the dash came back on when I fiddled around with the "junction box" in the engine bay(fuse box) cleaned the fuse connectors and fuses with contact cleaner and hopefully its ok, worst case is that the fuse box needs replacing but we will see. This is the grey box on the right hand side of the engine bay.
The starter was not turning because the current for the solenoid goes through Fuse F03 and I was using little jump leads on a normal size fuse so it would fit in place of a jumbo fuse and the wires were so thin on the jump leads they were acting like a resistor hence no turning over(if that makes sense).
-need to put the dash back together now.
