Michael,
Almost certainly a bad earth connection that is making sometimes and not
others, worth having a check for rusted earth straps, screws, etc around the
lights. This has happened to me on two previous cars, exactly as you describe,
in both cases it was an earth wire from the lights to the body that was
connected by a self tapping screw...The body had rusted around the screw hole,
stopping the connection.
Sorry I've no offers on the brake light though.
hope the above helps a little.
Chris.
