Normally would expect the interior light by the rear view mirror to be on a delay when you close door.
This works as expected.
and would also expect that as soon as you turn the ignition key it would go out straight away. This is not happening, so it always stays on for the full period until it automatically times out. Could live with it, except for when setting off in the dark, its distracting.
I do confess to having pulled most of the trim out of the car, been running new wiring in the car, have had the steering cowl off to fit cruise control and have cut what I believed to be the correct wire to make the remote boot release work "properly"

Any pointers what bits of wiring might affect this?

Well, I don't know what could affect that, and I'm sure more knowledgeable members will have an answer to your question, but I know that when you turn the ignition key, my interior light cuts outs

Check behind the interior light that you still have a switched live, you may have snipped the right wire but in the wrong place if that makes any sense?

makes sense that there is a switched live - will check that , thanks.

This is one of the side affects of the Hillpers boot mod unfortunately.

RichardH is right, you have done the Mod correctly, but you have to either, A/ Put up with it, B/ Reconnect the wire & lose the mod, or C/ Rig an "Override" - I did mine using an old Trafficmaster switch, one stab & the light goes out. :y

Correct!

Thanks for that chaps.
Main think is that I have not messed anything up that is unexpected.
Worth updating the post with the Boot release mod though, to avoid confusion.
