    just make sure all the bits you started with are still on the car when it comes back, took mine for a service. had a brand new k&n panel filter in with silly warning stickers plastered over the airbox.  they changed it for a cheap paper one, only found out a month or so later when i was investagating a loose airbox.

    i cleaned the body when it first started happening, as this cured it last year, but this time round its just made it worse i'm going to replace some hoses that look a bit past it and see what that does,  does the brake switch work on the same principal as the clutch switch or does it just make the lights come on ? i can be driving along ...
