Its a well known problem usually the brake light swithch, have a look on Pete's site www.mgf-tf-central.co.uk click on Tips & Tricks then Electrics then Brake lights always on.
You should be able to sort them using the tips on there.

Hi Bobbye, we have a contact in Spain that may be able to help you if you still have trouble.

Call Nacho (Ignacio Garcia Sanchez) he lives in Madrid but he has friends around Spain, some with mechanical knowledge of MG's. You will find him at spain@mgfregister.org

Take care,
