Glow, not globe   :wink: :smiley:

Brake light switch could be faulty

Diagnostic check first.

Maybe it's just the glow plugs..

check to see if the brake lights are either on constantly or never on. you are probably getting a nessage ping up on the display too?id say this is more likley than a glow plug fault. if its doing either of those 2, give the plug and connector a wiggle that can sometimes sort it

This, check the rear brake lights and if they dont come on then its the switch. Happened to me just before Christmas and Rhyso pointed me in the right direction  :smiley:

The car hasn't been moved in a while and when I did last nip for a spin it came up with a brake fault.
