When its on run around the back of the car to see if a bulb is out but make shure you have something or someone pressing the brake pedel

it is on the left as u face the dash in the bottom corner and shows up like a light beam am i on the correct one and why is it intermitant

 

Could be an earth fault on one of your brake lights. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Either have a bulb out, or on the way out. or a poor connection at one of the bulbs.

 

Or the Light checkbox is on the way out, which is a somewhat common fault.

 

Its a black box, the size of a pack of 10 cigarettes, hidden behind the plastic boot panels with a yellow/white connector plugged into it.

any pointers to which plastic boot panal

Could be cat overheat light?

Drivers side, rear corner. Usually clipped up inside, but often hanging loose on its wires.
