no, just slide them forward as far as you can.
Theres 2x screws around the cup holder area. remove them and slide it a bit towards the rear before lifting up and over the handbrake handle
Theres a plastic tab that goes into a bracket so if you dont slide it back before lifting that snaps off.

Champion Riccy.
The fluid level is OK and the pads and discs and callipers are brand new. This has been ongoing for sometime and it needs looking at now. It is intermittent by the way.

Spot on Riccy. So it is not a switch per se but a spring operated earthing connector. Not much to go wrong on it. But I hoovered a few dried leaves and removed the holder and plunger, cleaned all surfaces ensuring that the contact points were bright and shiny for contact and replaced, It is held on to its mounting point with just one PK screw.
