thanks for the reply - I looked at the chart in Halfords and the only interior bulbs it listed for my car were 239 (festoon type) or 245 which were bayonet - i couldn't see how a festoon bulb would fit in the fitting so i went for a 245 (which also doesn't fit! lol!) - here's some pics of the fitting - i can't see how a 245/festoon bulb would fit??;
