Lights out

2010 Mini One Clubman. Battery completely flat - trickle charged to full - all now working OK ... BUT - no panel lights or interior lights. Pilot (wife) also reports headlights acting 'strangely'. Any ideas, anyone?

As lights are playing up check earth cables and battery terminals first

UPDATE: also not working - indicators, brake lights (except high level LEDs), windows. Garage says they can't fix. Suggest it's a 'control box' that needs 're-coding' or replacing. They also think this unit was subject to a recall some years ago. Does anyone know?

All now fixed - it was the footwell control unit - apparently a very common problem. Thanks to all who reacted.
