Evening all. S1 Elise, last few nights at about ten pm it's randomly decided to light up the brake lights until it flattens the battery. Has this happened to anyone else?!? And more importantly, how do I persuade it to stop?!?

If you've not already sorted it then it's probably just a matter of adjusting the brake light switch sensitivity (screw adjuster under the front service panel on the driver's side bulkhead). I'm sure there's a thread on here or SELOC about it with pictures, but I can't find it, if anyone has the link.
