usually topping up with brake fluid will sort it out, but the problem is usually your low on fluid because you are leaking brake fluid somewhere in the braking system - most common are the rear cylinders im experience | |

quote: yeah but the handbrake warning light also warns of low brake fluid!!!!! its a twin switchable circuit. earth trigger on handbrake switch and positively triggered on the sensor in brake fluid reservoir. so either low fluid dicky handbrake switch or there is a short to earth somewhere | |
