  1. Hello. I have some euro headlights to sell from when I was living in France with a Skoda Octavia. They are for sale on ebay but no interest yet. Does anyone have any ideas where I can sell them? Maybe on here?
  2. The garage has now fitted a new rear brake light switch (under £20 as opposed to £150 for the alarm horn) but very fiddly to fit behind the pedals so not something I could have done. I'll have to see if this solves the problem. The lights havent come on for a week so its pretty erratic but another local mechanic said this is common with brake light switches. They can slip when cold weather causes contraction and this turns rear lights on. But you take out the switch and it looks fine. If the lights come on again I guess it'll be back to the drawing board but this seems the most likely cause.
  3. Hi. Has anyone had this problem recently? My rear brake lights (not sure what high level brake lights means) are coming on in the middle of the night and if I don't see in time the battery is going flat. The garage can't work out what's wrong. They did a diagnostic and found that the horn alarm isn't working and wondered if this is causing something funny to happen with electrics. That will cost £150 to replace. if that doesnt work they were going to send the ICU off for analysis. But sounds like it could be a different problem as people here seem to be describing something similar - brake lights coming on at night, usually on very cold nights, which can drain the battery. Pressing the brake pedal seems to turn them off. What should I ask my garage to look at? Thanks
