Hi Sean Have a look at the brake light switch,it is located at the top of the brake pedal under the facia. If you disconnect the plug and link the two sockets in the plug together with a link wire, turn on the ignition,if the lights come on the the switch is faulty. Turn the switch 90 degrees clockwise to remove it. Fit new one in reverse order. Hope this helps.
