Hello Cookski,

You seemed to have landed with a bump! :)

Ok, well I'm back now, so, few rules (you other lot can listen up too) No more bitchin' you can all be nice to each other.
As pointed out before, no text talk please, try not to abbreviate too much, as its helpful to our members who's 1st language isn't English.

Lets all start again and play nice eh ;)

In answer to your OP Cookski, check your brake fluid, its your handbrake light, but will also tell you if your leaking fluid...check your drums etc...wouldn't want you to crash into a wall now huh ;) :p

you just broke two of your rules :D
 
Badly worded OP, demands help with no proper information of what the light looks like.

He got off lightly in my honest opinion.
 
Will the light come on if the brake fluid reservoir is over filled? My light comes on around some corners or if I'm braking a bit harder than usual. It's filled quite a way over the maximum mark. Thanks
 
usual advice - remove the filter before checking the level, it can give massively wrong readings....

oh yes

Sloshing of the tank causes it to get trapped above the filter and it dont escape back down - weird i know

Mines flashing atm
I know forwell im getting ready v.soon for a set of new pads (and disc's)

But under random hills/braking/conering, my cars keeps telling its empty when its not....

Ziggy
 
I had the same problem with my new one. Removed the filter and shine a light through the top so I could see the level. Topped right up to Max. Mine was coming on during braking and cornering too.
 
It may be that under the handbrake itself the button that is pressed against to tell the car the handbrake is disengaged is not being pressed. You can see this by removing the handbrake gaiter. However I've not seen anyone else mention this so quite an unlikely problem but maybe something to check if all else seems to be in working order
