All my brake lights have gone off!
« on: 13 November 2008, 23:10:49 »
All of my brake lights have stopped working but I haven't noticed any other electrical things that have failed.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks very much! :y

Hi Kate. Lovely as the car is i had brakelight issues with it, sometimes they stuck on as well as off but it's definately the switch behind the pedal.
  Thought i'd sorted it before selling her to you, sorry, Guy. :-[

You should be ashamed Guy :D :D :D :P :P

Mine play up occasionally Kate, although I have found if I give the pedal a good kick it sorts itself out :-[ :-[ ::) ::)

new brakeswitch is around £11 + vat from dealer.  2 different types for 2.5s, one for cruise, and one for non cruise.

Don't get ripped off Kate it's only a switch. I replaced a few but only ever with used ones. Hope she's serving you well otherwise. I hate selling cars to people i know but she is a good'un. I know it sounds soppy but i miss her sometimes, she was my first!!!! :D

I'm taking good care of her Guy!

I don't think Ill get ripped off at the garage, the bloke seems alright.  

I washed her the other day in the freezing cold.  I was thinking of you Guy as if you were watching me and criticising! ;D

I hope the Beastie is alright! :y
