Hi thanks for the offer, that's really kind of you much appreciated. Shame I'm too far away, I've googled a couple of auto electricians who do diagnostics and will give them a ring and get them to come round and hopefully get it sorted. Cheers mate!

It's either that or the fuse for the gm module has blown or the module itself has blown.

Two fuse boxes.

One is above the front glovebox, the other is at the top of the right rear cubby.  Can't tell you the numbers, but there should be a fuse card there too.

Gm module is behind the glovebox,pull fuses numbers 14,27,41&60 this will save disconnecting battery neg. terminal.

Fuse plan is printed there if not sure just pull each one out to check if blown.

Hi fellas found the culprit. It was a broken wire on the gm module loom, there are 3 plugs on the back of it a large black plug, and 2 smaller ones, it was the small white plug on the end with a purplish grey wire which had a break in it all fixed now nearly everything works as it did. Central locking and boot opening working, interior lights all working boot and door release from inside the car all working self levelling suspension error message removed and working, all wipers and washers working. All 4 Windows working. Thanks fellas for all your help, feedback and the positive comments! Great stuff. Cheers!

Just 2 small problems left.  the Amber 4x4 triangle in centre of instrument cluster is permanently on and the rear passenger door won't open from inside or outside either by central locking or button near hazards or manually! Any suggestions on these issues? Thanks fellas.

Great news I bet your well chuffed well down for tracing the fault!
Try turning steering wheel from lock to lock and if no luck go for a drive round the block to reset the system.

Did you look at the fuses that maybe related to the rear lock fault?
