If you drive enough on the motorway you have time to spot things like this. If you see a car in the distance with there brake lights permanently on, it will almost certainly be a 206. it seems to be a recurrent (pardon the electrical pun) problem. I've seen loads of them.

If they have multiplexed wiring its probably interferance from a local radio station

Yep, 206s are notorious for that!

and Fiesta's.
jorgy's spot of the MG is probably the reverse switch gone South.

Yes. Also seen a number of late 90s / early 00 Fiestas with a similar problem, the brake lights shimmer and flicker on as the car drives along and hits bumps etc, obviously something loose, but have seen a ton of them doing it.

That, and the Mk1 Meganes with rear indicators and brake lights which operate in unison....

That's probably as they get accidentally knocked as the steering wheel is turned.

Well trying to return to the start of this thread

are these 'fires' the right ones? (just got to love babelfish!)

I wonder what an appropriate price would be?

Yes they are Colin.

If you need any help communicating avec Mr le Froggy, drop me a PM.

Yep, sure are!

These must be on about 5% of all UK Xm's as there weren't that many base spec cars
so I can fully understand shopping in France! I'd imagine in UK currency in a scrappy
they'd be around a tenner each (maybe even the pair) but due to our currency being
a complete joke and worth diddly do's, expect to pay handsomely for them - watch
the cost of the postage - I've had better prices from Germany but there doesn't seem
to be any logic or consistency across France/Germany.
