3rd brake is changed back to red. 2 reasons:
1. I prefer it
2. The clear one didn’t work (wasn’t plugged in - must have worked loose since the MOT)

I have now worked more on a car in the last couple of weeks than in the previous 52 years! :rofl:

That third light was a secondhand one I fitted as the original was badly cracked.
It did the same to me and I assumed I hadn’t plugged it in properly so refitted the plug. Must have been a loose fit.
Sorry.
Red looks better though.

It is a bugger of a connection so not surprised it came loose. Was going to go red even if it did work so no drama! I still have the clear if you want it back for your spares bin?

Can anyone recommend someone who can sort the potential timing issue causing my VANOS error code please? As suggested by j3nks79 earlier in this thread. I am in Wiltshire but could travel.
