MG MGF Technical - Sticky Brake Lights

Hi guys,
Yesterday a friendly Taxi driver signalled to me that my break lights were on constantly. I was able to extinguish them by knocking the break pedal upwards with my foot. This seems to be an intermittent problem but I have noticed that the break pedal has 1-2cm play on it. Is this some sort of spring or cable problem?

Any advice is much appreciated

Neither, the brake switch needs 'unadjusting', use the archives "brake light switch" all words

Hey Mogs,

Not related to your thread, but where abouts in the north east are you. Are you involved in the MG club up here or know of any runs in this neck of the woods. I've been in contact with Sam Murray, who's in Aberdeen, and would be interested in any get togethers like the central scotland mgf club have.

Cheers ben.
