I'm going to put a replacement rear lamp unit on the car.... I had one guy today insistent on picking up the car, but the second I mentioned the LED Brake light not working on one side, he immediately wasnt interested and seemed to think he'd have to pay hundreds and hundreds of pounds for a replacement despite me pointing out they're £35-£40 on ebay for a working 2nd hand unit. I'll fit one of those and take the hit.
This is the annoyance with integrated LEDs though... this issue will soon affect almost every modern car when they get to a certain age. Fortunately in this S40 the LED brake light setup is extremely basic, so replacement units are cheap, but I cringe at the thought of having to replace those full intelligent LED setups you see on the rear of Audi's etc.
