if i have my lights on everytime i press the brake the rear drivers side light goes off, as soon as i take my foot of the brake the light comes on again.

all the indicaters brake lights go off, got pulled by the police for it a couple of days ago, have looked at the lights and the fuses and they seem fine

Any Ideas ?

If all your fuses and lights thenselves are working fine then check the connection where the cables clicks into the lights at the rear. (you will find this in the boot of your car obviously).

Usual french car trick of saying not all your lights are working for some reason or another.

After time the metal connections start to corrode and lose their connection. You could just an object to scrape any substances off, blow or use a form of cleansing foam (i suggest the last option it works best).

This should help. Had the same problem with my 106 2 years ago.

If that fails (try checking your light bulbs again :y: )
