The sensor on top of the bottle is all sh*tted up with gunk, I think it's more than likely the fluids that old it's full of crap and needs flushing, tbh I might just Turkey Baste it out and stick some fresh in, i've no idea what grade of fluid's in there, will mixing Dot4 and Dot5.1 make any...
When I did mine years ago the map number had to match the cars vin number, otherwise you'd ruin your ecu, not sure if it's the same these days, what's the code number of your map?
That sounds like a plan, it's been in there a few years and it was on my to do list before CSF track day, I just don't get how it was fine when the pads were near enough grinding and the piston was fully out, but now the pads are new and the piston is wound in it's gone haywire.
Fluid is full as far as I can tell, although the gap between max and min is very small, looks to be about a 20mm difference.
Also why wouldn't it come on when pointing up or downhill but only on throttle, surely if it was low fluid it should do it on all inclines, not just on throttle?
When accelerating the handbrake light is permanently on, it goes away off throttle or braking, when maintaining a constant speed with the throttle it flickers, i've checked the brake fluid reservoir and it's full, usually when you fluid is low the STOP and brake light comes on when cornering...
It's all changed since I bought mine, but I think you now have to buy the unit, the map and a licence all separately to get it all to work.

Yes I have one of the original units, but other than reading fault codes it's useless on any other car other than mine as it's locked to my ecu, they all end up locked to one car unless you but a licence to unlock it, but it then becomes locked to that car and become useless to the original...
Hell yes it transformed the car, much more balls lower down, smoother idle, higher rev limit, better drivability, I put it back to the standard map once because i'd got so used to the 98ron it had become normal, f*ck me it felt broken on the oem in comparison.
If it idles at 650 it doesn't have a 98ron map, mine does have that map and idles at 1100rpm on cold start and 950 when up to temp, it also isn't lumpy but it was before the map.
The simplest solutions are usually the best.
There's a vent in the grill that channels air directly into the space where the V6's opening sits, which is why I don't run a CAF on my V6 box.
As soon as this weeks wages come through i'm buying my ticket and booking afternoon track time, many people will be overtaken and thoroughly owned by the mighty dog kennel!
Just got round to watching your vid, sounds f*cking brutal, shame you can't hear sod all in the cabin, but at least pedestrians can hear how awesome it sounds.
I think you can get Powerflex replacements for the rear beam, i'll add it to the list of things that need sorting before I take it on track and let it fall to bits again.
Edit: £70 f*cking notes...
F*ck knows mate, there's no give in the rear discs, they're not warped and the bearings are fine, the front drivers side was catching on the aux belt cover thing, so that was zip tied in place as it was flapping about, the right rear catching under load is a mystery as it doesn't seem to be...
Right just been to see HMS GuyMartin at one of the many garages he seems to work at, rear brake pads changed, old ones were f*cked and catching on the discs hub centre thing (I believe that's the technical term), the sliders were half seized with brake dust and crap so they were cleaned up, took...
The knocking under load is more than likely a worn dog bone mount, it's very common, £40 quid will get you polybushes to put in it that will solve the problem.
The airbag light could just be a dodgy connector under one of the seats, i've got this atm.
No the noise is new and they've been on a couple of years fitted by my mate while I watched, he builds off road Land Rovers for a laugh so knows his way round cars, the way I chuck the thing around I wouldn't be surprised if i've worn the bearings out through bell end hoonery.
