Hey guys,

My little EP91 failed it's WoF (MoT for you UK folk) on a few things, ones that i will get a mechanic to sort out, but I'm pretty keen to try figure these out:

 

- Brake lights flicker when indicators are going

The brake light bulbs are.. cheap and nasty LEDs, but could a poor ground be causing this? I will try some proper bulbs first

- High stop light is on when the park lights are on

This, I couldn't replicate when I got home.. so I'm not sure what to make of this. Any ideas?

A few months ago I actually re did a few of the earths in the engine bay, I'll recheck those.

I found one earth in cabin on the drivers side, just where the bottom of the door is, but it looked nice and clean, I should actually traced the cables back come to think of it, oops.

Does sounds like grounds issue. Have you got to the end of it yet?

I didn't in the end, I put back some halogen bulbs and left it at that

Orrrr I didn’t read it properly lol. You may need a resistor to use the led lights.
