Brake lights on all the time on my A610

Postby B1 RMA » Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:37 pm

I wonder if anyone could help me I've just noticed the brake lights are on all of the time, had a quick look down at the pedals but couldn't see a switch anywhere.

If it's anything like the Spider it will be a square based long black plastic switch with an adjuster nut holding it in the correct position on the pedal box. Contact usually made. Push brake pedal to break contact. Mine was full of crud and I had to dismantle and clean it to make it work properly. Si21 had a GTA version for comparison and it was the same style apart from the length.

Yes I had this problem the opposite way though, I had no brake lights at all. As Steve says it will be the adjuster under the cover and brake pedal which will be stuck/full of crap.

Yes, thats an interesting selection of cars you have.
What year is the 635 as I've got one of those on my list of cars to own, not heard of that model am I right in thinking it is like the M635 I plan to own.

RE B10 6 Series

Postby Tony Smith » Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:15 pm

Hi there, shes a 1990 car, believed the only 1990 Alpina 6 series converted. They are not quite as quick as an M6 - about 25 bhp down, but torquier. Very rare cars though, only a handful made over a 6 or 7 year period
