MG MGF Technical - Brake lights on -alone-

I left my F idling, warming the engine before departing- temp is ice cold around here- and suddenly from my library window I could see the brake lights turning on, then off, and then on again. Any idea of the cause of this strange event? -no known ghosts around-

Hi, this is a common problem and the brake light switch needs to be reset,the insructions from the manual are:-
1. Depress and hold brake pedal
2. Reset switch by pulling plunger
3. Release brake pedal to set switch adjustment.
I found it needed a strong sharp pull to pull the plunger out.

Hi Michael,

take this direct link to Tony's

... and never again pull upwards the brake pedal while driving, or cleaning the car. This causes the problem with the plunger misalignment.
