Well after getting a tad bored with working from home - I thought what the hell - lets fix that hand brake switch issue on the car.

Before I started to take the dash apart... (got that down to 20 minutes now  :grin: :grin:) I thought I would double check switch itself again and the dash board switch - all worked fine.

So I then thought lets check the brake fluid level - all OK up to Max level, then I noticed the cable onto of the brake fluid chamber was slightly off - so I pushed it back - checked the light switch in the dash and guess what????? The light went out - pulled the hand brake up and the light come on - took hand brake down - light turned off.......  :smiley: :smiley:

It's fixed and all due to cable on brake fluid chamber not being on correct.... happy again... another item off the list to do.

Si, you got any tips on taking the dash out of a cab ? The bulb on the clock/mfa on mine has gone and it's only a minor niggle but you know how it is, it's like a dripping tap and it's starting to really piss me off now.  :angry:
