Can be down to the bulbs still, if they have burned black on the glass it's worth replacing them and make sure that they are both identical makes (replace both together).

Well someone on here had similar problems and it only went away when they used bulbs from VX, why a simple light bulb should cause problems i'll never know!

There is a slight concern that if the bulbs keep failing then the alternator may need attention.

my next worry is the rear blind not moving, i hear a click everytime i press the button but nothing, the seller swears that now and again it did stop working but it should be ok.
I will check the connections when I get around to looking and give it a few wiggles as well.

Blind notorious for getting stuck!

Petrol warning if less than 30 Miles range (Based on current consumption)

Washer bottle at front of car between bumper and radiator!

What trim level is this car? I'm guessing it's an Elite if it has a rear blind!

 Um, if its "brake light check" when you turn the ignition on, it performs a self-check when you touch the pedal. HTH :y

Must have pressed the pedal for the brake lights to come on to know they were all working!  :y

Ah, but is the phrase the same? I know when I got mine, it came up "brake light check" and I thought it was saying the bulbs were on the way out... only when I read the manual with a cuppa in a services on the way home did I realise... :)

Oh i see, it could be ok then, when you read the sentence differently, i have got a manual with it, getting it at 5 today will look,

Just the way it is worded ATTENTION BRAKE LIGHT CHECK.

As opposed to CHECK BRAKE LIGHT.

hmm.

I got a v6 24v 3.0 elite (not sure if its injection in the title or not)

If it goes off when you press the brake pedal, it's the normal pre flight check of the bulbs.
