Brake light Switch problem? 166

Hi all

It's been i while since i wrote but i've had my 166 2.5 for two years now, and although it's had quite abit of problems i still love the old girl.

I have a few problems im addressing to get her through the MOT.

The First of all i need my brake lights fixed. They dont work at all sometimes and expecially if it's cold outside. I belive it's the brake light switch, because i have problems getting out of Park (P) also and that is only possible when pressing the brake pedal.

My question is were can i find this switch and do you have any other ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks for the Info DARKLORD, unfortunatly atleast the SHOP4Parts site doesn't allow overseas shipments. I actually was going to buy front discs, pads, switch and more from them, until i noticed that.

Anyone know of a better deal for front discs and pads than those.
I've been quoted 355€ for a pair of both here https://www.alfa-service.eu, i find that abit much.

What do you think and keep in mind overseas shipping is need, unless someone here gives me a hand

Hi Guys

I just called the Alfa Romeo dealer and he didn't think this switch could only cost 8 punds. He quoted me 150€ How can this be ?

Re: Brake light Switch problem? 166

on my parts disc it says its £3.51 +VAT, at 2004 prices. The parts is shared with loads of Fiats, (eg Bravo, Uno, Tipo) Lancias (DElta, Dedra, Kappa and Alfas (GTV, 166).

It's part no 7627639 if you can ask your dealer to check again, he must have made a mistake.
