ok i have found my problem , but now wondering is it because some things  have changed and knoced out some of the high way = trunk commands under 0x02 


#highway=trunk & ( network=e-road | int_ref=* ) [0x02 resolution 24-18 continue]
#highway=trunk [0x02 road_class=4 road_speed=5 resolution 24-18]
