LCR no brake lights

[cap r 225]

Would appriciate some quick feedback please guy's, you've never let me down yet.

My cars thrown a few fault codes up lately on Vag-Com, and i assumed it was the cold weather as the same code never appeared twice. Only for a nice chap in a Ferrar 360 to pull up next to me at the lights and inform me my brakelights were out
I had a code on Vag-Com the other night saying something about a brakelight footswitch, but as i said i disregarded it at the time and didn't keep a copy of the code

MrDave told me that there is a switch by the pedal, which i am aware of in other cars i've had, but never looked in the Leon (I'll have a look in the daylight tomorrow)
I could do with getting this sorted tomorrow as i'm supposed to be celebrating the new year in manchester!

Thanks in advance Cap

So do i, here goes!! You do need to remove the dash on the LCR by the way, unless you have a handy two year old with tiny hands!

Finished! time for a brew now it's freezing. Might go out and give her a wash and wax in a min!

The brake switch was pretty easy to be honest, they have more in stock if you need one Andy!

Dont think the Brake switch will fit a smart car

Make it fit Andy

Make it fit Andy

I bet the SEAT brake switch is bigger than a smart car
