Come out to the motor this morning and the drivers side sidelight front and back are on and will not turn off. Have tried starting it up but the light stay on and the right side indicator is flickering on and off but not at the normal rate. Any ideas?

I thought that I could just pull the fuse on the side lights for now so I can have a proper look later on but I can not find any listing for sidelights in the handbook for the fuse boards either in the glove box or in the back. 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone

That sounds like a parking light/indicator stalk problem to me. IIRC if you leave the right indicator on when the car is switched off the right hand sidelights stay on as parking lights. Never used it myself but took a while to figure out what was going on when it happened to me. I didn't have the indicator flash rate problem which suggests to me that yo umight have a defective stalk unit.

It's not the parking light, already check that but thanks anyway 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone

I would be inclined to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, reconnect and see what happens.

The funny flicker sounds like a potential earth problem. Better have the wiring checked. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
