After checking your earth connections, clean the rear light cluster connectors with emery cloth (grit paper), looking for any green or dirty connections.

Agree with solara; almost certainly the cause.

I have had this problem with two cars in the past, and on one (A Ford Sierra, where this is a known issue) I had to scrape the inside of the connector with a sharp point as well as clean the tabs on the light cluster circuit board because the oxidisation was so bad.

You might find electronic PCB board cleaner useful for getting at hard to reach places. You can get it from Maplins

I had this problem on my 306 when it was new - I found a short in the rear light cluster on the right side- Easily opened and spotted. This was a left hand drive unit, but I think the right side rear cluster is the main distribution on all models. G'luck.
