Hi
I have an S1 Elise and the brake lights are coming on and draining the battery when parked up/switched off.
I gather the issue is usually the switch at the brake pedal but just wondered if there are any recommendations for garages in the Castleford/Wakefield area that would replace for me please?
Thanks!

Some of the garages I contacted didn't get back to me unfortunately..... So I bought the switch to do it myself!

Wasn't too difficult, made easier with the pictures in the link above (many thanks for posting that :up )

Replaced the battery too and the car leapt into life, although I hope I never have to replace one again. My knuckles are missing some skin :lol

Maybe I will have a bit more confidence to try things in future now! Thanks all
