Morning all.
Not used my car in a while so thought I would take her out with the sun shining. My brake lights and reverse lights don't seem to work yet the indicators and side lights do. Any ideas? It all worked fine before I put her in garage
Thanks

right fuse 2 for brake lights, 15 for reverse 
if they check out ok look in the engine bay next, check the black wire on reverse switch has ignition live, if you loop it to the black/blue the reverse lights should come on. there is a 2 pin plug inline with the wires check there for corrosion
for brake lights you got 2 pressure switches on the master cylinder, the red/yellow wire should be permanent live. if you loop to the red/black the brake lights should come on
