If i accelerate hard from standing sometimes i get the same light as the handbreak comes on, then when i change to second it goes off. Is this normal?

It could be you have
- low brake fluid (check reservouir)
- dodgy earth on brake sensor
- loose handbrake
- clutch slave sylinder leak causing low brake fluid
These are off the top of my head. So check if they are ok, then we will carry on with the examination of what the problem is.

The break fluid is full and i did the handbrake a few weeks ago so thats tight. How will i find out about the bad earth?
in front of the handbreak lever there is a connector for the switch that turns this light on. squirt some wd40 into the switch and check the connector is secure and the wires have not been pulled slightly out of the connector. there may only be one wire as this is a negatively switched setup.
in the lid of the break fluid reservoir there is a switch that also turns this light on. make sure its connectors are both clean and secure, and also take the lid off and push the float up and down a few times to make sure the switch's movement is smooth.
