ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM?

[baz79]

EVERY MORNING I DRIVE TO WORK AND JUST BEFORE I GET TO TELFORD THERE IS A HUUUUUUUUUGE LEFT HAND BEND IT IS QUITE A TIGHT BEND AND IT GOES ON FOREVER LOL......

NOW, WHEN I COME OUT OF THE BEND AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN DOING AROUND 40mph THE STOP LIGHT AND THE HANDBRAKE SIGN COME UP AND FLASH ON OFF QUICKLY FOR 30 SECONDS APPROX............ wtf?????

IF IM DOING BELOW 30 IT DOESNT COME ON........... NOT REALLY WORRIED ABOUT IT JUST CURIOUS

ANY IDEAS???

low brake fluid caused by low brake pads

Ahh so that's what that is, good thing I did the pads on Wednesday because mine was doing this on a couple of corners.

ok i get what your saying but im not actually breaking... you'd have to know the bend to understand... its basically just a long bend i dont even use the breaks so is this still the case that low break fluid or is it something else????

could the fact that the tilt on the car from going round the long bend causes the level to 'think' there is low fluid????

ffs.

??????????????????????????????

low brake fluid caused by low brake pads

what this man says.

when you go round the corner the brake fluid moves obv so it goes below the recommended level so the warning light comes on. its caused by low brake pads.

Its definately low on brake fluid, I used to get the same thing on massive clock wise sweeps.
Take the engine cover off and look at the back left for brake reservior. Youll notice its a right pain to get to,id use a funnel for pouring it in.
