Red Warning Light

Post by iggy350 »

Hey guys
Erm bit of help, Today I got in the car and you know the light that comes on when you have your hand brake on, well I released it and it stayed on and then started to beep and on the journey home it would go off for like half and second and come back on sometimes and now it pretty much stays on all the time, Any thoughts?


I checked my Brake fluid btw and gave it a little top up I recon I might have a leak but cant see any.

Thanks

Either that or the sensor or whatever that measures the position is messed up
