They may be on the same fuse from memory. As said in a post earlier, the boot light on the dash and the boot light are controlled by a microswitch in the lock mechanism for the boot. Its a replaceable part and often fails. Look to pay around 8-10 quid for it from a dealer.

ahhhhhh is it a rear bumper off job ?...

cheers for this

Nope. Just unscrew the two bolts that hold the lock in on the boot lid and there is a wire plugged into it. Unplug this and carefully pull the microswitch out of its holder.
