Hi Steve,

I believe that if one of your sidelights blows or stops working, your brake light will step in as a substitute until you can get the bulb replaced. Another fantastic idea from those boffs at MG Rover. I would replace the sidelight bulb that your told has failed anyway even if it doesn't look broken to definitely rule that out. If the problem still persists, you then know it must be some kind of connection problem which I am sure someone will be along an advise shortly.

Best Wishes,

Tom

P.S. If there are any available Mods out there - could this thread be moved to the technical forum where it would receive more coverage? Thanks in advance.

Change both brake light bulbs and normal service should be resumed

A relais under the hood was broken.
