Hi
Looking for some help.
Is it possible to wire a pir light that only has line-neutral-cpc
With a normal outside light normal connections via a light switch.
So both lights come on when the switch is operated but only the pir light works when the switch is off

No it cannot be done with a PIR fitting which only has L N and E connections.

How can it be done without a switched live connection on the PIR fitting?

Put a double switch in and control them independently but easily at the same time.
