My brake lights are staying on even with engine off and car parked plus the glow plug coil on the dash was flashing for a while on the last trip. Can anyone help please.

Faulty brake light switch or you could have a faulty bulb causing a short somewhere. Common fault.

90% certain it is brake light switch. Very easy to change. often just re-setting is all that is needed.

Hope that's all it is I'm going outside soon to fiddle with it. The lights did go out yesterday eve after I moved the brake peddle and prodded around the area above but it was dark so once I got them to go off I left it and went to bed.

Right decided I'd get a new switch so off to local parts supplier who had one on the shelf for only £8.00 inc vat.

Back home watched short video from Mr Rooney above did exactly what's shown ..... Easy peasy!

All works ok in the drive so I'll test it properly when I take car out next.

Thanks for all help and responses.
