Stop and handbrake lights come on when cornering fast?

[briny182]

Hi,Not sure what this is about - whenever I go a bit 3 wheely round very long tight corners (this one is actually J7 of the M56 where I join it each morning) my stop light and handbrake light flicker and then stay on until I'm going in a straight line again..I'm sure its probably something and nothing, but just wondered if anyone knew what it was about (or is the car just being sensible and telling me to calm down? ) Nick

Brake fluid level low

Check your brake fluid, top up if needed, jobs a good'un

brake fluid level is low, probably due to pads being worn.

those lights come on when fluid gets low




edit - how can two of you reply in the time it takes me to type a message! lol

had this and didnt realise the brake fluid resouvior was different to the power steering.. lol

You have to take the engine cover off, if your looking from the front of the car, its behind the engine block on the left

Check your brake pads, low pads make low fluid level...
