i used to work for fiat and alfa years ago and i was working on a alfa 147. The brake lights were stuck on. I was fookin about with the brake light switch and could i fook get the lights to go out. I went back to my tool box and seen a 5 pence coin on top of my box. I got a bit of glue and stuck it to the brake pedal. The brake lights went off and started to work as normal.
