brake light switch activator - where is it?!

I thought it was going to be under the dash in the footwell area, which is all I had time to check this AM in the filty weather but apparently not, so is it in the front compartment or behind the dash and do you need to remove stuff to get to it? I've never noticed it before, but need to make an adjustment.

just noticed this is likely to be an s2 from the links elsewhere on the site but presume it would be the same on the s1

Thanks guys

Kambites - is that an s2? If accessible from the front cover on an s1 then presumably it can't be there?!

[zebedee]

cheers guys, I'm not a SELOC member so can't see that, but hopefully it is accessible from the footwell given the service guide exploded diagram, seems it is just at a bit of a funny angle which is why I didn't see it first time. Was too cold to start fumbling about for it at the weekend and I don't intent to install myself down there until I am ready to get the job done and swap the throttle pedal linkage too as there can be few less comfortable automotive tasks!

legends, thanks you so much!

So I have found it, pulled it out and it has a white shaft inside it. Principle seems different to theone at the start of the link in that the white bit is fixed it seems in that although it slides in and out on a spring, I don't think it would respond well to be extracted further. So is it the how far you push the whole assembly into the hole in the chassis before twisting it that sets the gap.? Only I have pushed it in as far as it will go, twisted, and now I have no brake lights at all in ignition position 2

Doh. So it defaults to on, so actually no lights is pushed in too far, all sorted now.
