Had the pads changed mate

you should check pads at same time, the fluid doesn't just vanish, it mean the pads have wore down

Got it fixed but was a little more serious than expected. Saturday morning my brakes completely stopped working so i took it in to get looked at - needed new pads on the front, shoes on the back and 2 new slave cylinders at the back

Came to £160 :(

if anyone else was wondering what to use its dot 4, guess i was low on fluid, the light went out after i topped it up, there was me ready to spend money on getting the handbrake cable and rear brakes done =s

hmmm maybe i should top mine up, had mine on for ages =s, what type fluid do i need? got a 1,4 8valve

ah right

thanks for the info mate - will top up asap

Cheers :wave:

The handbrake and brakefluid light are the same one on the dash mate, i just topped mine up because of the exact same thing

Isnt the handbrake cable operated though plus it only happens if the car is turning right - not if its going left :S

thanks

top your brake fluid up :thumbs:

For the last week or so when i turn a sharp right or go round a roundabout the handbrake light light comes on on the dash

Has ne1 experienced anything similar and how did u fix it??

Thanks in advance :wave:
