Kwikfit Light show MGZT.

mileshawk56 · 21st March 2021, 15:44

I took my ZT to Kwikfit for a free exhaust system check last week. Nice young lady drove it onto the lift and I noticed the brake lights go on and off a few times, thought it was her doing something, dabbing pedal whatever. She got out,engine running and up it went to examine the exhaust, now all the rear lights, obligatory and brake lights were doing the Blackpool illuminations act. Exhaust no faults. Car off ramp still doing the light show. I turned it off, started up again, no light show. Apart from " well thats Kwikfit" any ideas?? Its going to be checked out on Tuesday next. Hasnt done it since that I know of but?? Chris. S.

My dashboard often says there is a bulb out, but there isn't ! Usually goes off when the engine is re-started.
