Has it got LED bulbs fitted? If so they need to be 'coded' so the Front Electronic Module doesn't monitor the bulb. Known as canbus errors

Also check your Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) because they throw up the same error often. Even if they've had LEDs fitted too.

 

The side light bulb and DRL bulb are different bulbs. When you get the error are you turning on the sidelight/parking lights and going to see if the bulbs are working?

Yes but what I was trying to say was that either a blown Sidelight OR DRL Bulb will bring up the same message on the dash, hence the need for the OP to check both.

Hi, yeah I do have LED side lights in, I've just realised this could be the problem! Is there a way I could do anything to fix this issue or do I just need to change the bulbs?
I've checked DRL's and they're fine!
Thanks

I've checked both the side lights (which I think are what come on when I unlock the car) and the DRL's and they are both fine, cheers.

That's the problem then, the LED bulbs should have been coded when fitted.
Where abouts are you located? A lot of members on here do their own coding (me too) maybe one of us will do it for you, it only takes a couple of minutes.
See the

for more info, there is a map of users willing to do coding but it's not updated. FYA I cover the E.Yorkshire area.
Or if it's something that you're interested in learning yourself you can get a lot of useful tips there too.
