When the lights are off the dash lights are off, but they don't dim between parking lights and low beam if thats what you mean ?

No, it only shuts up when I have the key in the ignition and the immobiliser turned off, but if the immobiliser is on then it doesn't make a difference if the key is in or not.

Maybe it is a faulty circuit in the ignition barrel, any ideas where to look first ? there's more than a few wires coming out of that area

It's the Keys in the ignition ping thingy.

There is a wire that goes to a contact in the barrel that needs to be cut...

Damn annoying noise anytime you are camping and trying to listen to the UHF with the door open so I cut mine.

Edit : The immobiliser must be bypassing the contact so maybe my solution may not work, it has worked on mine though.

Cut the purple/white wire attached to the ignition barrel in a black two pin multi plug, it goes to a sensor on the barrel itself. The only problem is it cuts off the headlamp warning too, which is quite useful
