    Electrical/lighting problems

    Re: Brake light always lit... Nope, it will displace the moisture but will leave it oily which is not good. If you are skint just open the light up and give it a good clean.

    Electrical/lighting problems

    Re: Brake light always lit... As above, open up light, clean the area, remove any water, spray with switch cleaner/moisture displacer. Servisol is a good switch cleaner.

    Electrical/lighting problems

    Re: Brake light always lit... Only guessing, but its possible that the brake light has a switched negative. Therefore the positive is already present and when water shorts out between the metalwork of the car and the light it is possible to bring the light on permanently

    Only when the aux belt splits and takes the cam belt with it.

    The aux belt seems to have split lengthways the garage said this probably caused the cam belt to snap. Thats why they are claiming its not their fault.I have my doubts now whether they changed the cam belt at all because if you did you would certainly change the aux belt.
