While driving to wok this morning having a bit of fun with a Golf GTI driver, at some lights he pulled alongside and informed me my brake lights were not working, this had been mentioned before by my sister when she was following me but they were working again after she thought they hadn't come on, but now it makes me wonder if a fault is occurring.

Has anyone else had this problem, my Octy vRS is only 3weeks old {05 plate}and only covered just under 600miles.

I know I need to check it out further but wanted to know if someone else had had a similar problem or is it quite common

Yes, the brake light switch is a known design fault.....

Take it back and get warranty replacement
