Centre Brake Light

[cs_horn]

Does anyone know how to access the centre brake light to change the bulbs?

My dash is randomly warning me that the centre brake light has failed, but then clears again after 5 minutes. I am assuming a loose bulb or connection, so want to check this first. Anyone else had this problem?

Many Thanks

is that a avant or saloon?

Hi there
If salloon you get it through the boot, but if that fault is coming up you may need a complete unit, as you can't change the bulbs, this is not a uncommon fault really, heard of it before,
Best to open boot and lay on your back in it, you will be able to see how it comes out.
Good luck

It is the saloon.
I've had a look and think I can see how it comes out.
Do you know where I can order a replacement unit? Do I have to get it through a dealer or are there other sources?

Thanks
