As others have said, it's pretty certainly an earthing fault.

You can diagnose rear light cluster earthing faults quite easily -
look for a Ford or Renault badge. However they make them, they
haven't got reliable earths to the rear clusters.

It would probably be much better to use a wire "earth" return,
rather than rely on the chassis.

No experience with the Kagoo

What a surprise. Last van you had as a failed foreman was prolly a
Ford Thames.

Better a failed forman than a half-witted handyman any day, especially one
who lacks basic knowledge, slams is clients in newsgroups and is *such* a
drama queen - must great you wearing those dresses and suffering from PMT?

but I presume that the rear light cluster has a
'buzz bar' type of common earth

Errrm no it doesn't. I described the earth in the OP but your are too
****ing stupid to have read it properly.

No you meddling half-wit, there is more than one way to carry an earth on
vehicle or to produce the fault your are experiencing, but you lack the
knowledge to work it out - and that's why you have to make such a fuss
bluffing things out here and in DIY Banter.

But when you buy silly toys to work with, expect a stupid owner to try and
maintain it rather than letting the professionals do it - BTW, you didn't
take the toy to a garage offering cheap MOT's did you? If you did, then
you're a damn site thicker than even I thought. ROTFL
