Hi all,

I recently noticed that my brake lights were permanently on and that the door locking "click" when the pedal is released wasn't happening. If I place my foot under the pedal and raise it slightly everything works. Is there an adjustment to the pedal I can do so it rests at the proper height/position? Or is there a different fix?

Many thanks

There's a little switch under the brake peddle that might need replacing, a cheap £10 fix.
