Hi,my brake lights were permanently coming on and after checking the brake light switch, above the brake pedal. it had popped back through the hole. Are there any tips on how to reach in and place it back in? it seems almost impossible to reach round the back? thanks |

Hi, I did mine through the drivers side air vent, the one by the window. And I still have the scars to prove it________________________________________ China D Turbo HDi daily chargerBlack Rallye occassional toy |

Cool thanks, didnt think about approaching it from above.....seems quite a way off but if you're still wearing the scars and it worked then i'll probably be tattooed up the same way over the weekend |

Now I think about it I removed the plastic collet type thing as I couldn't get enough leverage on the switch to push it through. I used a thin cable tie pedal side to secure it and stop the switch going back up ________________________________________ China D Turbo HDi daily chargerBlack Rallye occassional toy |

Removing the steering column improves access somewhat ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
