Could be the switch on the brake pedal as I think that is what usually causes this problem on most cars.

No not winding you up, I was under the impression that their is normally some sort of micro switch on brake pedal which controls the brake lights going on and off, but I might be wrong.

Unplug the brake pedal switch ( it's just above the pedal rubber 2 wire connector ) get a bit of wire bare both ends and push each end into the 2 connectors on the switch connector if the stop lights work the switch is foobared
