Failed MOT :-(

It is in a position by the brake pedal so that when you step on the pedal it physically presses the switch. It may just be loose since it seems to work sometimes. Just follow the brake pedal up to the top & see what contacts the pedal under the dash.

The switch is inexpensive to replace; mine had similar symptoms this Fall. It is held in place by two small plastic tabs that twist around a metal bracket. This sounds easy but the tight work space and made it difficult to get enough torque by hand. I found it easier to *gently* hold the switch body with channel locks.

Cheers for the replies,

Ill try and source a replacement brake switch online and then set about trying to get it out without grazed knuckles
