Re: brake lights
it is in the same place as in a volkswagen . attached to the pedal assembly in the inside of the car. Easy to check manually press switch up if no joy then disconnect one spade terminal and hold it against the other one (effectively shorting out the switch) if it lights up then the switch is gubbed. If you still have no joy then check the fuses. if nothing then houston we have problem
oh its a whitish plastic switch

Re: brake lights
After much neck straining found it an wiggling the switch seems to make them flicker si New one ordered! Thanks for the tips And after a bit more poking around I'd dare say by the looks of some of the wiring il be asking for more help in the weeks to come!!
