No, but the brake fluid won't stay put.

hi just been out and as the manual says got to the master cylinder and found the brake light switch.
i took the to wires and bridged them and hey ho they worked, do you have any ideas on how to change
the switch and is it messy or is there a way to reduce the mess...... mike

[icosahedron]

I put some rags below the switches (mine has two) and put my finger over the opening as they came out. Put the new one in as quickly as possible and it was not messy at all.
