On my 200 Tdi 110, I've noticed that when the brake lights are activated, the reversing lights (and the fog light actually) come on dimly.

Any idea what's most likely to be causing this... thinking possible grounding issues - are there any likely places to check?

Cheers.

Seconded, they will share an earthwire that isnt earthed correctly so its passing on the power to the reverse light...

Sounds very plausible, any tips on where's best to start looking? I'm fairly happy with tinkering and troubleshooting but this is my first Landy so not familiar with the layout.

Took the earth straps off, gave them a good clean, bolted them back on now everything is working perfectly.

Thanks chaps.
