Just wonderin what the problem could be as when i go round a roundabout, the light comes on (on the dash). This also happens if turnin right..... As far as i know it doesnt come on when turnin left so basically i'm wonderin what the prob is....
Also the orange sensor light (on dash) come on when travelin at high speeds (well motorway speeds) but after less than 1min it goes off again....whats could b casuin this also

1) brake fluid level - top it up as it will be running low! Also just check the rear drums for wetness as a rear brake cylinder might be leaky (common)
2) could be a vast array of faults... Check the ECU Fault Codes...
