Can anyone advise me as what mkay be the cause of all the instruments just stopping. Everything stops just as if the ignition had been switched off only the car stays running and the head lights work all else fails. It started off with just the wipers now it is everything. The ignition switch appears to be working correctly
All help would be greatly appreciated

Not certain, but chances are it could be a software glitch. My C5 (2.2 HDI) did this a couple of times about two years ago. I think the dealer upgraded the software and it's never happened again. It was very momentary mind you - car is bowling along and you get the impression the ignition has been switched off for a split second - yet the engine seems to keep running normally. It happened to me once at night - headlights went out for a second - disconcerting!

This also happened to my C5(2.2HDI)on Saturday. Dry road, steady 70 on cruise control: suddenly automatic wipers, lights cruise and radio deactivated and restarted. Trip meters and computer not affected. Service light came on, but cleared when ignition next started.
Taking to dealer for diagnostic check.
