Noticed today that I've got a small electrical fault on my passenger side rear light cluster. When I indicate and brake at the same time the indicator flashes but so does the brake light. As a result of this under normal brakeing the brake light doesn't shine quite as bright as the drivers side.

Anyone know why this is and how it can be fixed?

Earth fault on the rear lights I would assume. Check any earth points in the boot, remove the rear light cluster that's causing the problem and clean the connector and the mounting points thoroughly. If not, you might have a dodgy bulb.

More like you both blatantly do the bare minimum at work and spend the day on Facebook or on here to pass the time

Massively in favour of the more breaks and less productive days! Specially when it's abit nippy out!
