Well I fixed the problem with the lights. I took the switch if the brake pedal and tryed a paper clip to short it to make sure the lights were ok and they were so replaced the switch cleaned connectors and everyting works ok now. Needed to replace indicator bulb as that was not working all the time.

Also had another problem with the car wheels. Got the wheels balanced and the tracking done as the steering wheel vibrated aroung 60-70mph only cost me £15 which i thought was good. Drove the car off and it was even worse than before. tryed to let it settle in abit and no joy so I though it could be something wrong with the bushes at the front took wheels off last night to find that the spacer rings for alloys were on wrong way round and one wasnt sat properly fitted wheels and vibrating stopped. They wheels were balanced just not put on properly.

Wrong kinda bulbs? I did it before lol

Put single filament in brake/rear lights so my dash lit up when i braked cos it was shorting

you'll have to name and shame the garage that re-fitted the wheels! They should have known what to do!
