Just check your entire brake system - pads, discs, cylinders, shoes etc

Not really much of a job. You just need to pull the carpet back and then you can unbolt the whole handbrake of you need too with it released. The switch is on the back of it...

No I don't think so, I think it's about average. I think... :o

I had a feeling it may have been the switch. So is it a big job then? How long would it take to fix? And i'm guessing I would need a buy a new switch :(

:(:(:(

Yep, as I though, my break fluid is fine.

I was told that could be what it was, but my break fluid is full, about the maximum mark actually, I think. I'll go have another look just now.

Hi there,

My hand break light is almost constantly on, what can cause this, and is it easy to fix? I have an MOT on Thursday, so it would be good if I could fix it.

My engine management light is on again, but I'm going to have to deal with that. :(
