Is It Possible To Overide The 2.3 Mk2 Auto Brake Light Switch ?

[eaglestar]

Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible and/or feasible to override the locking mechanism which prevents the gear selector from moving.

The brake light switch is playing up and although I can get it working by "wiggling" the switch my wife needs to use the car before the garage can fix it.

Thank you.

Can't you obtain a switch yourself and fix it? there is instructions on here for changing the switch although if you have already found the switch to wiggle it then your halfway there. Even if you had to replace with a pattern one from ECP or similar it would seem a better idea than messing with any of the rest of it.
