Assuming you don't mean the initial "brake check" that happens every switch on .....  Check ALL the brake bulbs .... one has blown .. :)

IMHO it is best to replace all of them at the same time with QUALITY bulbs .. not cheap crap .. the reason being that this keps the resistances of the bulbs al aboutthe same.. and so avoids false warnings from the system .. which measures the bulbs resistance..  :)

Seems to be an issue with Halfords bulbs and Omegas - you need to get Vx replacement bulbs or another good quality make (I've found Ring bulbs are OK)

HTH ;)

I found that the brake light bulb on the passenger side was loose in the holder and the spare wheel was touching the holder, everytime i hit a bump in the road it had a knock on effect causing the bulb to move. Since moving the spare wheel all is fine.   :)
