hi my brava is a 1.4 12v and the red handbreak warning light keeps flashing after every time turn a corner...any ne knows the prblem..???

thanks
 
check your brake fluid, if it isnt low then the problem is the brake pad wear indicator wire, which is on the front passenger side brake.
 
this is what my car was doing everytime i went round a left bend the handbrake light came on, i thought nothing of it but it ended up being a warning about my slave cylinder which i have had to have re-placed, so i would check that just in case
 
This happened to me and I finished up driving my Brava for quite a while with the handbrake light flashing then eventually staying on. It turned out to be the slave cylinder.

I had to have it replaced - but saying that, at least it turned out to be cheaper than a whole new gearbox.
