thats k don't mention sir. i just thought the question in question was so well thought out it needed some reconnition of the fact it was a well thought out question. as the answer would point one to either of a set of possible causes
A/ those that will only happen when vehickill is stationary and by that i dunt mean a piece of paper nor a nvelope
B/ those that would happen when the vehicill is not stationary i.e. not a nvalope
or C/ those that would happen when vheickill is both stationary and not stationary
so we shall wait with baited fish lines on the answer to your most bodaicious question

It sounds like you've got a big voltage drop when the brakelights are on.
A multimeter wil confirm that.
Then chase where the short is.
I'd go for the bulbs first, always seem to be the delicate bit in electrics.

Well gentlemen, I thought the most likely thing would be a dodgy feed, if there wasn't enough leccy geting through then the lights would take it all and the fuel gauge would get nothing. (Because the rear lights are on the same fuse as the gauges, don't know why).
So I was very pleased to find that the fuse in question (No 5 I think it was) was all corroded, maybe some water had got in there some time (quite often i expect!). So I cleaned it all up nicely and it made no difference.
Next I went to the lights, and the problem turned out to be a poor earth in the left hand stop light unit.
I cannot quite work out why a poor earth would cause this problem, cos surely that meant the light wasn't using much power - it was a bit dim - but anyway that did the trick.
btw I like the new pictures mr grunt / mr slob

the bad earth would have made it use more power, as the joint has a high resistance, which requires more power to overcome.
