thanx all u lovely ppl!

i had this problem with the handbrake light coming on just top your brake fluid and it shud fcuk off did with mine

sorry brake :P

i had my rear's adjusted and this solved my spongyness as well as a nice tight handbreak :D

problem with your breaks is..... its spelt brakes lol :lol:

as pads go down, so does the fluid, as the pads are sticking out further.

top up fluid is a quick fix to stop the light
but could be wise to check the pads too

if they are spongy, means they need bleeding too as there is air in the system :thumbs:

Get someone to try to them out.
My mum drove mine and said they were mega spongy,which I had got used to.
So I decided to change the Pads and it turned out they had about 1mm left on them.

cool thats what i told ma ol' man but he wreckons its ok, I'll do it anyway as he also thinks the headlights are ok but ones dim...lol!
bit like him I think.
thanx for da reply.

Sounds like u need to top up the brake fluid to me.

they feel squishy n spoungy, do i need new pads, disc or fluid or all 3?
i hope its on the cheapest one i need.
btw the handbreak light comes on when i corner sharply or go round round abouts.
