Ok got a really strange problem on my mk5, 1.3 hcs carb manual choke

 

No batttery light with ignition on or choke or handbrake light

 

Start the car up everything seems ok but got no brake lights headlights or main beam

 

at this stage i checked battery voltage and it was 11 volts however if you rev the car the battery light comes on not bright but not dim, When the battery light is on checked voltage again and got 14 volts but still no brake lights headlights or main beam,

 

with battery light showing my light comes on for the choke when its pulled out but still no handbrake light

 

the horn hazard lights wipers heated rear screen indicators side lights and rear fog all work which is basically all the electrics it has being a base model.

 

Dont know if it makes a diffence but the green light comes on the dash to say the lights are on but just realised ive got no oil light either and noticed my temp gauge was sat lower than normal when on a run yesterday and also the relay doesnt click when applying the main beam and nor does the blue light to back this up.

 

So this is a really strange problem on a really reliable car with no electrical gadjets to go wrong lol its baffling me and i dont know what to do or where to look next so any help greatfully recieved cheers grant :cheers:
