I know this has been discussed previously but I can't remember the details. One of the brake warning lights indicates low brake fluid level, I can't remember if it's the handbrake light though. Worth checking anyway.  ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.  I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |

i completely forget but isn't the handbrake warning one a totally seperate light to the brake fluid / pad warning light?if it's the handbrake light i'd have thought it would be the 2-pin blue plug/sensor in the middle of the exhaust tunnel (i have never ever ever known one fail though) sounds like you have a pad/bleeding/fluid issue though. check fluid, then pad life, then pad sensors ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
