MG MGF Technical - Flickering reverse lights

... any clues whats causing this ?

Yep, brake switch

In footwell follow wires near bake pedal, switch is on the end.

Twist switch and it will come out
Pull very hard and the plunger at the top of the switch will pull out about an inch - you will think that you have broken it, don't worry.

Press brake pedal and reinsert the switch
Release pedal and the switch will reset to the correct length.

DONT lift the pedal past the natural return position or you will need to do this again.

It gets worst, not only are they not teaching our children morals in school but they are also failing to teach them to read!
