Brake fluid - fine
Fuses - fine
Discs & Pads - fine
Take car for test drive - fine (ABS works, as does HDC)

Take brake switch apart and clean with WD40, check connections and put back in place - Hey Presto!!!
brake lights start working again.

Now just got to get diagnostic lights switched off by Mr Beaumont.

Cost so far £0.

Result methinks

I was going to suggest turning it off and back on again[1].

[1] As in disconnect the fuse or battery, leave for 30-60sec and reconnect/replace.

Could be time to invest in a Hawkeye or something similar.

Thinking about it myself for when we get an engine in the TD5. I think if you have a Land Rover with an electronic brain this should be on your wish list, especially if you use it off road at all.

Guessing it's about £50-£80 for a diagnostic check at a garage so it would probably pay for itself
