Hi all,
Well I have had my head in the footwell again..
I Noticed the brake lights were stuck on when Sarah headed off for work.
The cause is the brake light switch going out of sync and super senceitve. normally due to the brake pedal being lifted above its normal resting position.
This is a common issue on early MGFs so I hear.. but the fix is quick..
Stick head in footwell, locate switch behind brake pedal up against the firewall (only thing near the back of the brake pedal with wires).
The switch which is fitted virtically (plug end at bottom) pops out with a 1/2 turn anti clock.
The adjustment can be reset by pulling on the plunger, untill it pops out by 5mm with a click.
All thats left to do is to pop the switch back in (while depressing the brake pedal a little).
Bingo, working switch, and no flashing or constant brake lights.
For more info see the following great thread: forums.mg-rover.org/archive/index.php/t-36725.html
