Reach up under the brake pedal. There is a small white switch IIRC is surrounded by rubber. Make sure that isn't getting jammed. It could even be the switch housing that is knackered. The housing can sometimes rust or crack but that isn't as common.

see where the cage has the bar running parallel to the dash, right through the steering column surround? it's in there! so might need help off someone with tiny fingers or lie on your back in the footwell with a torch. it's a white and black push-in sensor with a plug at the back

Thx guys. Ive tried that now. Is it a connector block with six wires going into it, with other connector blocks within the same surround? If yes, then still no joy!
Is there a relay for them? Ohh and how do you get to the rear bulbs? ....im useless arnt i. Thanks all. Smile
