brake light problem

[nixoro]

I don't mind admitting it, I can be a bit of an idiot at times, have been checking the lights on the boot lid, forgot  the brake lights are on the rear side panels, will check tomorrow now  

Doh!   You can see the lamps directly if you leave the holders dangling in the boot and drop the rear seat backs.

Yeah I know which one, checked the reflection in a bank window while stuck in traffic this afternoon in the city, coming back fae Bob.dents/supermops, left hand side

If you find the bulbs are seated correctly try disconnecting the light unit and check the pins which plug into the connector as I had an ongoing problem like this and it turned out one of these pins were not making a good contact.

Cheers, not had a chance to check it yet,  

All done now working fine, cheers for the advice folks ...lucky I did'nt get pillock of the week for this post

Good to hear you got it sorted

What was it in the end causing the problem?
