stop light flashing on when cornering

[chris-b]

The stop light and handbrake light appear on the instrument panel when Im taking a long left corner at speed,could this just be a loose wire or something more serious??

or could be brake fluid level!!! Check it!!!

Most likely low brake fluid mate.

 

[Dave]

Had same. Break fluid fill ASAP.

[Lagerlout]

Same symptoms here..... Personally I get your brakes checked too.

What brake fluid does the Clio use btw?

 

[chris-b]

Gong for its mot on weds so I guess they will check discs n pads thyen.Gonna get some fluid tomorrow.

 

[CUPPER]

Jesus that has just happened to me. Can u fill up your brake fluid yourself or does a garage have to do it?? Im not very good mechanically

 

[Djw John]

It tends to happen when the pads are low as more fluid is in the pipes and less in the reservoir. But yeah check brakes and top up as needed.

feck,looks like new pads on weds then,more money!
