Yep, def a dual bulb. When the lights are not on the secondary element works fine for the brake light, however when i switch my lights on the element is on all the time. Stripping away the lining and checking the wiring to see if it is shorting somewhere. This might explain the reasoning why my battery has been dead after a few days of non-use if there is a short somewhere.

Looking for some advice please. I noticed this morning that only one of my brake lights was working. Having rummaged around and found a spare bulb, I duly changed it. All working, or so i thought. However, when I returned home this time with lights on, i noticed that one of the brake lights was constantly on. I changed the bulb again, and when my lights are off, the brake element works fine, however when i switch my lights on, on the near side, the brake light is always on. Its too late and dark now to start pulling things apart, but what could be the problem and what should i be looking for tomorrow? The car is a 91 plate. Thanks

Lo all, Have a bit of a problem here and hoping someone can help. My G60 (1991 J plate) is suffering from a misfire. She starts up fine, however when she starts to reach running temperature, its starts to misfire. Not so bad when you driving along at speed, though there is hesitancy, but you have to keep your foot on the gas when stationary otherwise she’ll stall. I’ve had her in the garage for a few days now and they have changed the Idle control valve and Fuel Temp sensors in the hope that this would cure it, but to no avail. One other thing they said was that one of the leads from the ecu is missing so they cant even get a reading to ascertain the problem. Has it fallen off the back? ANy reason why it would be removed? The garage (which is a small VAG approved place) reckon it’s a mixture issue, however they don’t really want to spend hours and hours trying different parts in the hope one might cure. I’m not that technically minded despite having driven cars for almost 15 years, so really need to pass it to someone for a check. I’m based just outside Glasgow if anyone has any thoughts at all.
