| Warning light on Punto ELX Dashboard I am constantly getting a warning light on the dashboard of my 2000 Fiat Punto Elx. I have no user handbook so was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what it is - the symbol is in red like this (!) and is contantly coming on and off even when driving. Any info would be appreciated

| Re: Warning light on Punto ELX Dashboard thanks for your reply - I have figured through trial and error that it is the handbrake light. The handbrake appears to be fine but I have noticed small patches on my drive way when I pull the car out which could indicate some fluid being leaked - I presume I can purchase break fluid anywhere or will I need to send it in to get repaired - Apologies for my lack of car knowledge!!

| Forum Moderator | Re: Warning light on Punto ELX Dashboard If it is definaterly brake fluid get it sorted now,dont risk your (& others) safety with poor brakes! Brake fluid is very cheap so get a small bottle & top up & see if level drops over time.

| Banned | Re: Warning light on Punto ELX Dashboard Monitor its level, if you think there is a problem, kwik fit can do a free brake check if you book the car in. If it costs you nothing then why not? Also they can top up your fluids for free also.
