Hi Tom
Does this happen if you just touch the brakes enough to put the lights on
but not slow down, or only when slowing on the brakes, once had a similar
problem, turned out that the engine was moving on the mounts and pinching a
wire to earth, stop braking and all is well again.
Just a thought!

Graham.
