My fog light warning on the dash keeps lighting up slightly when indicating & braking sometimes it comes on for a while too, when braking

Any ideas

It's the Orange/Red one; half circle and squiggly line
 
check the connections on it, that would be my first point as it would appear that the braking force is somehow making the circuit in the fog light temporarily. seems to be my most used phrase, but a multimeter is your only friend here!
 
Ransome lights are usually down to a bad earth connection. Electricity will flow through the easiest path, so if the earth return for a circuit is poor, then alternative routes may allow some current flow.

With it being the fog light showing, I'd start by looking at the RH side rear cluster.
Remove the connector and have a look for any moisture or corrosion of the connector pins and sockets.

Is there any sign of moisture within the light cluster?
 
Bump!

Experiencing the exact same thing. Blinks just slightly when pressing the brake pedal. Double checked the light itself doesn't light up, so learned to live with it until I can motivate my lazy ass enough to check the connectors :p

I'll get my multimeter out at the weekend buddy just googled it seemed common on clios too, which is basically the same car this seemed to fix most people's cars
