you cant really see if there is water, get it tested.dont know wheter this will sort it... is in corsa system wich says when there is water in brake fluid? some cars have it, dont know about corsa. its all about 2-3% of water and tester will show it. brake fluid should be changed like every 2 years, otherwise its not optimal...

nope has a yellow tint to the colour of the fluid looks fine the brakes actually work fine but jus want to get the problem sorted cause my mot is next month an i dont want to have a pay a garage labour charges when there is no need to. The pads still have plenty on them too

sounds like loose cable if fluid is topped... and fluid is good, so there is not water in it?

my brake disk has worn some 2 mm this the reason my brake light keeps coming on round corners? the pads are fine but i think the disk perhaps needs changing.

Cheers
