The other night the engine wouldnt stop untill i turned off my lights. So i thought it was a bad earth, so i put some vaseline around the connection. But today it happened again. Ive noticed that water has been getting in behind my dash.. Anyone ever had this problem?

yes, happened to me when wires melted together due to a bad earth!! i think you're guna be looking at taking your loom apart because if its not sorted soon chances are the loom could catch fire if it gets hot again!!

Where abouts should i look for burnt wires? It only seems to do it if i drive for longer than 15 minutes. Then once you have stopped the engine using the light switch it doesnt do it after that..

i would be suspecting the run from the fuse box down to the front end or where the wires all go thru the front shelf/dashboard.
what / where was your fire??

I was thinking about this lastnight. And i came to the conclusion that it as to be after the switch.. lol. So i'll have a look at the fog light switch(ithink?) and at the front of the car. These sotlights tat were on the car caused the fire
